About

Gavin Holligan’s journey to the forefront of the UK soul scene is one of the most compelling narratives in the industry. Originally a professional footballer, Holligan’s career saw him playing as a striker for West Ham United in the Premier League. When injury redirected his path, he returned to his musical roots as a self-taught pianist, singer, and producer. This transition was anything but amateur; he quickly ascended to work with global icons, sharing stages and recording sessions with Stevie Wonder, Gloria Gaynor, and Jocelyn Brown.

Holligan’s artistry is defined by a “soul-stirring” vocal tone and a sophisticated approach to songwriting that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Operating out of his Brownhouse Studios, he has become a respected producer known for his commitment to organic sound.

Special Event: Gavin will be sitting down for an exclusive Q&A with broadcaster Richie Tee. The session will offer a rare look into his dual-career path, the discipline required to move from professional sports to high-level musicianship, and his experiences working alongside the architects of soul music.
