About Me

Hey there folks!My name's Oli Dickinson.I'm originally from a place called Rawtenstall in the Penines but I've been living in Leicester for 3 years now; I'm at Leicester Uni studying Law.I've been playing piano for about 15 years and writing songs for about 9 months. I've played a few gigs around Leicester very recently to a really good reception.Very recently I went to my mate's recording studio in Sheffield (Revolution Recordings) and had a great weekend. So that's what you're listening to. 15 years of piano playing, 9 months of songwriting and a weekend of recording. I happy with the result but I'm also looking forward to the future. I'm looking upon every new song I write as my best so far, so I can't wait to get back to Sheffield when I've got enough stuff to warrant another very cool weekend.Take Care.Oli x
