Bryan Sammis: The Boy Who Cried Wolf

It was only about a year ago Bryan Sammis or most commonly known by his stage name Olivver the Kid stormed the music scene with his debut EP “Freak”. Now he’s back with his latest EP “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”.

Talking about his earliest memories of music, the singer songwriter mentioned he started playing drums at the age of 9 then progressed to playing shows and being in band around the 15. A lot of people might recognize Bryan from his days as a drummer for The Neighbourhood but left last year. It was then his journey began as a solo artist and Olivver the Kid was born. We asked about the transition from being a drummer to now being a singer-songwriter “It's been fine. The public saw me as a drummer but over the years I've sang in bands, played guitar, bass, drums, percussion, etc... In a million different bands. My heart is in songwriting.”
Discussing the process of bringing the EP to life, Bryan mentions “I had been working on it for a year but couldn't quite hone in on what I wanted it to sound like & what I wanted to say until getting off The American Youth Tour with Halsey & Young Rising
