• After several years of homelessness, Octavian released his debut mixtape, 22, in 2016, followed by the Essie World EP in 2017.
• Octavian’s 2017 single “Party Here” was a UK club hit even before Drake posted a video of himself singing along to the song at a 2018 Golden Globes afterparty. The Drizzy cosign boosted Octavian’s profile even more.
