DCD Rights, a leading distributor based in the U.K., has recently acquired the new music title “Life in Six Strings With Kylie Olsson.” This eight-part series, set to debut at the upcoming TV market Mipcom, offers a unique and insightful look into the lives of some of the world’s most iconic guitarists. Produced by LISS Films, the show is hosted by TV personality and music journalist Kylie Olsson, who takes viewers on a journey into the homes and favorite hangouts of renowned guitarists such as Mick Mars from Motley Crue, Phil Collen from Def Leppard, and Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme.
Olsson, who has interviewed numerous bands over the years, found inspiration during the pandemic lockdown to start a YouTube channel and teach herself to play the guitar.
