Through poetic earthy prose, Oliviaβs artistry invites listeners to remember their innate connection to nature and the living world around them. Her songs are rooted in a lifelong love for the Earth, nurtured through studies in earth-based art, ritual, and performance, and deepened by her global explorations of earth-centered spirituality, meditation, somatic wisdom, deep ecology, and her role as an ally to First Nations.
Oliviaβs songs call us to listen deeply and remember -
to become the sound in loving presence, and awaken the song of the Earth within.
Oliviaβs musical journey began in childhood, singing, dancing and art making was encouraged and the stereo tunes often warmed the family home with her parents eclectic taste in music: from Enya to Aretha, and Botticelli to Tracy Chapman. She was inspired by the vibrant culture of living near the city with visits to the galleries, the Opera, contemporary shows and musicals. whilst growing up on Gamaragal Country of the Eora Nation in Sydney. Yet she always felt the longing to explore the wonder of the natural world, following her fathers footsteps on holidays with full day bush walks in the Blues Mountain and swimming in the salt water ocean. Her innate connection with nature based spirituality emerged as a young girl, as she received much of her inspiration when in nature: feeling the great mystery and kinship of the forests, and feeling the support of the elementals. Through schooling, Olivia enjoyed a rich education in jazz, classical, soul, and contemporary. From her first performances on the silver flute and in six-part choral ensembles, to fronting a 40-piece big band at fourteen, her early years were marked by exploration, improvisation, and devotion to the craft. By her late teens, she was studying music theory at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, performing with jazz quartets, and writing her first original songs. Rooted in her love for nature, ritual, astrology, and yoga, Olivia discovered devotional music and mantra and developed her voice as both a vessel and a gateway for healing and altered state.
Over the past decade, Olivia has immersed herself in voice, sound, bodywork, yoga, and rites of passage, while contributing to the vibrant, earth-centered communities along Australiaβs east coast. She calls home Bundjalung country, where she is living in the lush subtropical region of the Northern Rivers, NSW. She continues to create and share original songs in connection to country, community and the hope to inspire and be part of a regenerative movement. As a passionate advocate for the earth, and with reverence to the lore of the land, Olivia stands in solidarity with First Nations peoples and environmental initiatives, performing at festivals, initiatives, and protests across the east coast. She has shared stages with acclaimed artists and friends including YAIMA (2024/25), Murray Kyle, and Lulu & Mischka, bringing her luminous, earth-medicine voice to audiences far and wide.
Her song unfurls from the spirit of the land,
from the smokey jungles of the city,
from the mud and moss of the forests,
the roots and canopies of a fig tree,
in the deep waters - echoing whale songs of the ocean,
the gentle cascades and thunderous path of the rivers,
in the beckoning wind and rustling gums of the mountain tops,
in the rich dry circles of a vision quest,
in the whispering wisdom
of the grandfathers and grandmothers,
and in the starry eyes of the beloved.
