Olie Beckett is a 14-year-old artist with an unwavering passion for music, a love that has been with him for as long as he can remember. His journey into music began after hearing Marshmello spin, sparking his dream of becoming a DJ. Growing up, music was a constant presence in his life, from the tracks his dad played in his radio office to the melodies his mom would hum around the house. These early influences ignited his passion to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter and create a sound all his own.
At the beginning of his musical path, Olie dove in headfirst. He auditioned for a national choir, took vocal lessons, and performed at his local church. His vocal teacher, Melissa, with her background in musical theater, played a significant role in shaping his artistic style, introducing him to the dramatic power of performance. Olie also worked closely with Mr. B, a dedicated music coach, who taught him the essentials of music composition and professional tools like Logic Pro X. Melissa’s theatrical influence and Mr. B’s technical expertise have helped Olie develop a unique and versatile approach to creating and performing his music.
Olie’s creative process truly came alive when he began composing on the piano, and eventually, on the computer. He quickly fell in love with every element of songwriting and production, becoming fully immersed in his craft. Now, he handles every aspect of his music, from writing the lyrics to composing the instrumentation and delivering the vocals. He knew he was destined for this when he realized how deeply he loved the entire process.
Today, music occupies nearly every part of Olie’s life. He admits that it can be hard to focus on school when all he wants to do is write songs and sing. As he’s grown, so has his taste in music. He draws inspiration from artists like Harry Styles, Ariana Grande, SZA, and Rosalía. While it’s easy to admire other artists, Olie finds that discovering his own unique voice as an artist is a more complex, but exciting, process. The creative spark truly shines when he blends his own personality with the music he’s making.
When Olie writes a song, everything begins with emotion and inspiration. Once he locks in on the feeling and knows the chords, the rest falls into place. The bassline comes to him naturally, and adding the drums completes the composition. For Olie, songwriting is a sensory experience, combining a taste for music, a sense for lyricism, an ear for melody, and the right touch on an instrument. But the most essential element of all is passion. When everything aligns, that’s when the magic happens.
