Koopa Interview

Guitar Expert Secrets Podcast

Ollie plays in the groundbreaking band KOOPA. Ollie and the band have won numerous awards from magazines and other press around the world, they have also won massive acclaim and have been awarded ‘best use of myspace’. They have toured the world, opened the Isle Of Wight festival, appeared on TV and have played with some of the biggest names in the business including INXS and the Foo Fighters. Koopa achieved all this success as an UNSIGNED BAND!!! Unbelievable.
As one of my very first ever clients, I met up with Ollie to talk about the drive and desires that have allowed Koopa to reach such outstanding heights on their own.
Ollie's shares very openly with me much wisdom and many insightful stories. We also chatted about techniques for writing music from truth in the heart, what gear he uses, how he over comes challenges in life and even what has motivated him to pick up the guitar. I feel very privileged to have been trusted by Ollie and for all the very intimate subject matters he spoke about with me.
Whether or not you are a Koopa fan, this interview is a must-hear, especially if you have an interest in writting your own music - Ollie is a genuis in this area!
Listen to Richard Deyn and Ollie from Koopa discuss music and life.
