Singer/Songwriter and Producer

Olivia’s poignant songs reflect her unique life experience living as a transgender, neurodivergent young person, shared with audiences through moving vocals and unique instrumentation on guitar, piano, organ, bass, ukulele, melodica, violin, and percussion.

Trained at Hampshire College, Goldsmiths University of London, Berklee College of Music, and the Vermont Jazz Center, Olivia is an innovative composer, arranger, and producer who creates original music for live performance, recording, modern dance, theater, and independent film.

Olivia’s professional music career began at age thirteen when she won a YouTube contest and was invited to perform at the Ukulele Festival of Great Britain. At age sixteen she performed in clubs in Paris and later in cafes in Holland. She has since performed across the US as a solo artist and session player as well as with various groups and ensembles exploring rock, indie-pop, new-grass, and jazz.

When not recording or performing Olivia utilizes music in her work with autistic and neurodiverse young people, as well as expressing her thoughts and feelings through other mediums she engages with such as her comedic skits on TikTok and other social media, and her visual art.

Book or Interview Olivia

"Unique, yet familiar, coy, but direct, and so very deeply clever. You will hear instant classics that come fresh from reality, via the humor of someone who doesn’t take life too seriously, but who lays down some pretty serious tracks. This well produced album will have you laughing one minute and contemplating the absurdity of your own existence the next. This is one of those few albums that you wait for the right time to put on and sing along to, because you know that to feel complete, you will want to play it loud, and enjoy its emotive resplendence, until the very last note." - Evan Parks, WOOL 91.5 FM
