A Voice for the Earth

Olivia Rosebery is an Australian contemporary folk artist whose songs explore belonging—to one another, to the Earth, and to the mystery that connects all life.

Blending poetic lyricism, spacious acoustic arrangements and a reverence rooted in the traditions of sacred song, her music moves effortlessly between intimate storytelling and immersive vocal soundscapes, expressing what words cannot and giving form to the unseen. Her music invites listeners into a space of stillness, beauty and remembrance.

Based on Bundjalung Country in the Northern Rivers of Australia, Olivia writes from a practice of deep listening—to Country, the forests and rivers, the mountains and stars, and to the rhythms of the natural world. Her songs arise from a deep emotional landscape, nourished by an ever-deepening relationship with the living world, where love, grief, longing, wonder and transformation quietly unfurl.

Raised on Gamaragal Country of the Eora Nation in Sydney, Olivia's childhood unfolded between music and the natural world, she found solace and awe in writing her first songs on the flute and singing prayers on the wind. Immersed in an eclectic musical landscape spanning soul, folk, jazz and classical traditions, she found equal inspiration among forests, oceans and the vast Australian sky. She always loved singing , and then developed a passion for harmony in choral ensembles from an early age before fronting a 40-piece big band as the solo vocalist as a teenager. By her late teens, she was studying music theory through the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, performing with jazz ensembles and writing her first original songs whilst exploring and deepening her interest in the great mystery with studies in art. At university she studied performance and installation art, giving her voice to conceptual spaces and improvisation to connect into the Anima mundi of nature, exploring deep ecology, shamanic ritual based practise and the cymatic wisdom and healing of nature, the body and sound. A mystic at heart, ritual, poetry and original songs have continued to be the artistic medium and evolutionary form for Olivia to explore, connect and share her the wild journey of life.

Alongside her work as an artist, Olivia has offered her music in support of environmental, cultural and community initiatives, bringing song to gatherings devoted to ecological care, regeneration and relationship with place. Her work reflects a quiet conviction that music can deepen our relationship with the Earth—not through persuasion, but through beauty, presence and the simple act of remembering. She continues to lend her voice to projects and communities working to protect, restore and celebrate the natural world.

Olivia has shared the stage with internationally respected artists including YAIMA, Murray Kyle and Lulu & Mischka, performing at festivals, theatres and intimate concert settings throughout Australia.

Whether performing in concert halls, intimate listening spaces or immersive gatherings, Olivia's concerts unfold with warmth, grace and quiet intimacy, inviting audiences to slow down, listen with their whole being, and share in a deeply human experience of connection, reflection and renewal.
