Olin has a simple message - music, sex, and style are one and the same.
Olin wavers between roaring with a thundering voice that would make Robert Plant proud to be playing guitar God with the aggression and dexterity of Jimi Hendrix. His music lives in modern America, on the same street as Lenny Kravitz, The White Stripes, and The Black Crowes. There a timeless element to the music that showcases the same attitude and musicianship bands like AC/DC, T. Rex, Billy Idol, The Sex Pistols, and The Faces brought to the forefront.
When listening to his recordings, it dawns on the listener that from beginning to end - vocals, guitars, drums - even production has been undertaken by one man. When asked, Olin is quick to point out his love of Prince, seeing himself following the same right of passage to greatness.
In a world of pre-fabricated, plastic - Olin brings the flair, attitude and style that seemed lost in music today. Here in Hollywood, among the bright lights and big dreams, a musical revolution is brewing. You can hear it loud and clear. If you have trouble hearing it, Olin will gladly turn it up to 11.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
O: For an independent or growing newcomer it means endless opportunity. For the "industry" as a whole it means a return to quality and innovative ideas. I mean Pro Tools and Logic, et al. are changing things. People can make amazing music in their garage, giving the term "garage band" new meaning.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
O: If the deal is right, of course! Some of the best music out there was not just the result of an artist. It was great producers, A&R, and management people. All execs are not out to "get you." It's a business, and I will do business with any ethical person who has vision and integrity.
Whatever it takes to get it going, man! If we get out there, people will take notice!

Favorite spot?
Rome, Italy so far. The women were gorgeous and I felt an amazing connection with them... [laughs] when they spoke English! Much of our material was written during travels in Italy, France, and Spain.
