​19-year-old Oli Patient is a singer-songwriter from Petersfield, Hampshire, known for his well-crafted original music both as a solo artist and with his band. An experienced loop-pedal performer and busker, Oli draws inspiration from artists such as KT Tunstall, Bob Dylan, and Paolo Nutini.

​

Oli began performing at open mic nights aged 12. Since then, he has played countless local festivals and venues, including The Railway Inn Winchester, The Boileroom Guildford, and Guilfest.

​

Last year, Oli was accepted onto Busk in London, becoming one of the scheme’s youngest performers. This opportunity has allowed him to share his music to new audiences across London, with regular performances at locations such as Waterloo Station, Boxpark Camden, and Canary Wharf.

In 2023, he released his debut single 'Out of Time' to streaming platforms, followed by 'Ancient Crime' in 2024. As for 2026, Oli looks to continue performing and releasing new music.
