Releasing music through his independent label, Lamintin Records, Olly writes and produces his own work, with recent singles “U Got It” and “BODYE” showcasing his versatility as both a recording artist and visual storyteller. His performances fuse rhythm, storytelling, and cultural influence, reflecting a cross-disciplinary creative voice shaped by his Nigerian and American upbringing. Beyond music, Olly is widely recognized for his breakout role as Carlton Banks in Peacock’s critically acclaimed drama Bel-Air, which returns for its fourth and final season in November 2025. His work across film, television, and stage includes Gigi & Nate opposite Marcia Gay Harden and Jim Belushi, the Venice International Film Festival premiere Run Hide Fight, and the Off-Broadway production of Buena Vista Social Club. His growing cultural influence has also led to collaborations with brands including Lexus, Coach, Boss, and Equinox.
