Ollie was born in Brussels, Belgium, but grew up in Cambridge. He was a chorister for St Johns College Choir, Cambridge with whom he recorded a solo CD on Naxos In 2001. He studied at Haileybury College for five years with music tuition from Peter Davis and Quentin Thomas, and gained a place at Trinity College of Music, London, graduating in 2011. During his time at Trinity, Ollie mostly sang classical and choral music but his musical inspiration was diverse and he also sang a variety of musical theatre and jazz repertoire.

Clara Moschetta

Clara Moschetta is a singer and songwriter from Paris, currently based in London. Her music specialises in social commentary, exploring complex themes including politics, sexual assault and suicide, echoing early Fiona Apple and Regina Spektor. Her alternative style of pop is heavily influenced by jazz, fused with contemporary electronica and cabaret-inspired storytelling. This no doubt stems from the solace she found in Theatre as a young child. Having moved between several countries, the stage became her anchor each time. Clara’s debut single, Heavy Shoulders, explores the complex and often strained relationship between love and mental health. Tom Robinson of Radio 6 Music said: “if Steve Reich had been born half a century later, as a female vocalist, her song' ‘Heavy Shoulders’ is the kind of noise he might as well have made”. Currently developing her debut EP, Clara Moschetta is paving an independant and unique path in London’s alternative music scene.
