MORE ABOUT OLIVIA

Early Years

Olivia grew up in a musical family in Dallas, Texas, where singing was a family tradition. She picked up piano, violin, and guitar, but found her truest passion in singing. Her first public performance came at age 5, singing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” at the Texas State Fair.

Alongside music, Olivia began writing short stories and discovered a love for songwriting. She attended Booker T. Washington Performing Arts High School in Dallas and later LaGuardia Performing Arts High School in New York City. She sang with the Grammy In The Schools Jazz Ensembles, sharing the stage with Herbie Hancock and Wynton Marsalis, and at 17 was named Best Jazz Vocalist in a North American High School by Downbeat Magazine.

In high school, Olivia also discovered a passion for acting. She was a finalist at National YoungArts Week in Musical Theatre and went on to earn a BFA in Musical Theatre from Carnegie Mellon University.

She appeared in the independent film The Playroom opposite John Hawkes and Molly Parker, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The New York Times wrote:

“The real star, though, is newcomer Olivia Harris… Ms. Harris is also quite a singer. Over the closing credits she delivers the eeriest, loveliest version of ‘Up on the Roof’ you’re ever likely to hear.”

The Journey So Far

After moving to Los Angeles, Olivia released her first EP Lonestar Heart and began performing with the innovative theatre company For The Record Live, going on to star in Baz: Star Crossed Love at The Palazzo Theatre in Las Vegas (voted Best Show in Vegas, 2017) and in productions on Broadway in Chicago and at The Wallis Annenberg.

In 2017, she won #PMJsearch2017, an international competition run by Postmodern Jukebox founder Scott Bradlee, and went on to join the group.

After 3 years touring nationally and internationally with Postmodern Jukebox, Olivia released her independent debut album Juicy (2020), which reached #12 on the iTunes R&B/Soul charts. Her next EP Luvtrovert (2021) earned over 1 million Spotify listeners via Fresh Finds and Alternative R&B playlists. She expanded her catalog with Stylish (2024) and two deluxe editions of Luvtrovert Deluxe (2025), alongside Stylish Deluxe (2025).

That same year, Olivia released her third EP Mantis, and unveiled The Day The Sky Turned Orange (Demo Album), offering fans a rare look into the songwriting process for the original musical she co-wrote, which had its world premiere at Z Space in San Francisco in 2025.

Olivia also released her single Dream a Little Dream of Me, a recording of her standout performance on NBC’s The Voice, where she finished as a Top 8 Finalist in Season 27.
