Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, oii oii oii! Ollie aka Keiynan Lonsdale joins us in the SYDNEY studio and damn are we excited. Reunion moment!! We had very limited time with Keiy so we smashed him with as many questions as we could fit in (and not miss our flights back home) Keiynan is one of the most inspiring artists we know and we’ve always been in awe of his talents and skills but also his very humble approach to life. We love him so much and we know you will too, we’ve been through so much together and he’s truly one of our favourite people so we are so excited to share this short but deliciously sweet episode with you! 🍭

Topics we cover 🌟

Keiynan’s time in a pop band before DA

Dance Academy season 1 (and why Keiynan was involved)

Dealing with imposter syndrome when his career was at its peak

His journey learning who he could and couldn’t trust in show biz.

Living with Alicia in LA

Keiynan’s crush on Dena and that ONE night…

How he balances being the ultimate triple threat

His experience in finding his sexuality and how that coincided with the roles he was getting to portray on screen..

And so much more!

Life lesson: you don’t have to be cornered into one box, being a versatile artist is an amazing gift, we should all be embracing all parts of ourselves. Slashys/forever💫
