Ollie Brown

About

Ollie Brown is a Los Angeles-based record producer, songwriter, and mixer whose work favors feel over perfection.

For years he's been behind the scenes, shaping the sound of indie records that have left a mark. Ollie built his craft in Sydney, Australia where he owned and operated his own studio before moving to LA and working alongside Paul Butler (Michael Kiwanuka, Andrew Bird), Tommy Brenneck (Charles Bradley, Menahan Street Band, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings), Noah Georgeson (Oracle Sisters, Andy Shauf, Daniel Rossen), Gianluca Buccellati (Arlo Parks, Lana Del Rey), and Alex Goose (Aaron Frazer, Kali Uchis).

His engineering work includes records by Declan McKenna — whose What Happened to the Beach? was named BBC's Hottest Record and charted Number 1 in Scotland and Number 3 in the UK — and Skegss, whose Pacific Highway Music landed as Triple J's Feature Album of the Week in 2024. He has also worked on sessions with Cold War Kids, Rayland Baxter, Baby Rose, Karate Boogaloo, Freya Ridings, Jon Muq and Felly, among others.

Now stepping fully into the producer and co-writer role, he has worked with Tyler Ballgame, Emily Brimlow, Camille Trust, White China, EJ Worland, Elijah Delgado, Rona Joy, Somebody Someone, R.O Shapiro, and S.L Houser.

Often recording to tape with musicians playing together in the room, his productions blend the warmth and spontaneity of classic records with a modern sense of space and detail — combining raw performances, layered textures, and immersive arrangements drawn from 60s and 70s soul, folk, psych and rock. The goal is always the same — to catch something that feels alive, otherworldly and human at the same time.
