An important album for so many people, especially the band themselves. The follow up record after the sad passing of Jon Lee. It was a pleasure to bring this special show to life.

Most of my summer was out on tour with Massive Attack. I’m still trying to process what I was part of. Not a gig, but a statement. A confrontation with the times we’re living through. This show asked hard questions about power, truth, violence, and complicity. Music has a way of reaching people that nothing else can. It slips past the noise, into the bloodstream. Music has long been the voice of a collective conscience. That’s what this show did, and I’m proud to have played a small part in bringing it to life.
This production focused on the ongoing devastation in Gaza, approached not as a headline or trend, but as a human crisis that demands attention and care. For me, coming from a family of socialist humanitarians. Being part of this was a deeply personal act of solidarity. Not anti-anyone. Not performative. But a refusal to be silent in the face of injustice.
Art has power. Music has power. And when used with intention, they can cut through indifference and create space for truth.

Free Palestine.

I bought a new home!

After 26 weeks and 1 day from having my offer accepted to finally getting the keys, I can safely say it’s been one of the biggest life lessons I’ve had. A complete whirlwind, and definitely an experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone, but I’m so relieved it’s over and I’m finally in. Safe to say I won’t be doing that again for at least 10 years!!!

It’s a milestone that means a lot to me, knowing it’s something I’ve been able to achieve entirely through my own work and saving.

I’m constantly reminded how lucky I am to have such an amazing support system around me in my parents and sister.

And a massive thank you to @homemoveea @homemovenottingham for getting this finally across the line & @milestbox who I just couldn’t have done this without.

DMA’S
HILLS END - 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR

A beloved debut album for so many people. It was amazing to see the nostalgia in fans faces each night, screaming word for word every song. Electric atmosphere every night. And such fun to be able to do 2 huge nights at Brixton’s O2 academy and see this design at its fullest!

Inhaler • NYE Dublin countdown concert 🇮🇪

A pleasure to be asked to design & operate this show. A really lovely bunch of lads, and a great crew. On national tele with a midnight firework show. One of the coldest gigs I’ve ever been a part of! But always a fun time in such a beautiful, iconic city. Music from Ireland stays winning.

Favourite albums of 2025

1. Olivia Dean: The Art of Loving
An album that made tenderness feel radical again. Turning emotional intelligence into a flex, soundtracking a year where the internet relearned how to feel without irony. The best car singalongs. Also the perfect album opener & closer. 2025 was hers.

2. Lily Allen: West End Girl
Sharp, funny, and uncomfortably self-aware. She weaponised nostalgia and adulthood in equal measure. It became proof that pop veterans can still outpost the discourse kids at their own game.

3. Clipse: Let God Sort Em Out
Cold, surgical, and unapologetic, this was legacy rap with zero interest in being palatable. Online, it reset the conversation around what a “comeback” should actually sound like.

4. Wolf Alice: The Clearing
Piano driven, Ellie at her best and my favourite sounding record of the year sonically.

5. Dave: The Boy Who Played the Harp
Intimate without being small, poetic without losing bite. This reframed masculinity and ambition in a way that had me quoting lyrics like scripture. Not afraid to raise real life issues, where many would be.

6. CMAT: EURO-COUNTRY
Chaotic, brilliant, and impossible to pigeonhole. She turned genre confusion into cultural clarity. It became a personality as much as an album. CMAT is that girl.

I got to hear most of these songs live at shows which was amazing. To work with Olivia & Clipse, promoting such strong records was a real honour. 2025 was an amazing year for the long play music format. I’m excited to hear what 2026 brings. by @otis_fidel

Cambio, Carabao Cups, & Coldplay

 It’s been a real year of change. Had to learn how to let go and keep going.
Pushed myself and reached new heights. I’ve met so many new people, who have really shaped my year. More than anything I’ve had such fun this year.
Hope I can continue working to find peace in the people around me, to find peace in life, and to continue learning how to accept who I am.
This truly feels like the end of something important. Not just a moment, but a chapter of my life. I’m not the same person I was at the start of this year. I start 2026 moving on with the person I want to be.

Thank you all for an amazing year. Happy New Year.

Signing off from Dublin. With love and prosperity, Otis. X by @otis_fidel

My final tour of the year was with @clipse. Some amazing shows across Europe and the UK. 3 shows in London alone, with a memorable finale at Brixton Academy, always a pleasure playing there. Having Pharrell join us in Paris was a true highlight as one of my heroes. I was the show’s programmer and director, thrilled to contribute to the overall atmosphere and high energy.

Real honour to tour one of the albums of the year around the continent. #EASY

A few weeks ago, I did 7 shows in 3 days back with the unbelievable @oliviadeano. The artist of the moment. Great to launch what is going to be a huge campaigns for the team! Thanks to @connorhoustonlive & @robilighting for getting me on board for these out store shows. It’s amazing to see such an authentic artist take over the world.
