Bio

 

I was raised in a small town in South West England called Calne. My first band was called The Codes and we recorded an album called "Eleven" in 2005. In 2009 I recorded my first solo EP "For Emma" and have been recording solo acoustic tracks ever since. I play small shows, open mics, and Battle of the Bands in London and the South East of England.

Here are some of the songs I have released as Chris Olson - solo artist...

"Dirty Summer"

Released: October 2022

Album: TBC

My most successful song to date, "Dirty Summer" has over 10,000 streams across all platforms. It's a song about coming-of-age and being and idle-handed teen with not much to do. 

I wanted it to have a road-trip vibe, like I was on a journey even without being on one, with a high-energy, bouncy beat. 

I recorded the song in my very humble "home studio" and had it mastered by a sound engineer in South America. I am really happy with how this turned out.
