Ollie Bond says you’re “Safe With Me”!

Ollie Bond is a Coventry based singer/songwriter, playing an upbeat blend of acoustic, pop and folk music – taking his inspiration from artists such as Passenger, Gregory Alan Isakov, Jason Mraz, and The Beatles. Ollie found his roots in Bedfordshire, picking up the guitar at age 10, before moving to Coventry last year to study Medicine at the University of Warwick.

Previously, as part of a duo back home, Ollie has been lucky enough to reach the finals of national music competition ‘OpenMic UK’ at the London O2 and has been twice nominated for best acoustic act and once nominated for best male artist at Cambridge NMG awards. In 2018, Ollie supported Ronan Keating, Neville Staple Band, Hazel O’Connor, and Tony Christie on the main stage at Godiva Festival, at the time the largest free festival in the UK.

Due to popular demand, Ollie then returned to the festival in 2019 to headline their acoustic stage and play their BBC stage. Ollie was also privileged to be chosen to play for Coventry’s portion of Found In Music’s International Busking Day. Ollie recently released his singles “Away” and “Give It All” on all major retailers and his newest single, “Safe With Me”, premiered on 11th December, receiving praise from Hot Music Live magazine. He is currently recording new music, to be released in early 2020.

Ollie recently spoke to us about “Safe With Me” and told us this: “Safe With Me’ is a song about helping someone close to you through a hard time, which is something I’m sure a lot of us can relate to. I just wanted to write something with a positive message for these darker months of the year. More importantly it’s a song that has come from my own experiences of being picked up and returning the favour. It was a song that came to me one evening and pretty much wrote itself, then with help from some close friends of mine it became what it is now”.
