Brown, Oli Here I Am

2012, Three albums into his career, HERE I AM finds Oli letting down the barriers, showing his cards, turning the spotlight on himself and defying you to turn off your stereo. HERE I AM is the sound of an artist on the crest of a wave. When Oli hit the studio in Nottingham after a triumphant 2011, he had the plaudits of fans, press, peers and heroes ringing in his ears, a truck-load of trophies and a huge weight of expectation. Most 22-year-olds would have felt pressure, but with his dream team around him - drummer/producer Wayne Proctor and bassist Scott Barnes - Oli rode the red light and chased down twelve classic songs to hand over to Magic Garden Mastering's Brian Lucey.
