Olivia Dean

About

Olivia Dean is the kind of artist who makes soulful storytelling feel both timeless and refreshingly modern. With a voice that carries the warmth of a Sunday morning and the emotional depth of a late-night confessional, the London-born singer-songwriter has carved out a space where jazz, soul, and pop intersect seamlessly. Drawing inspiration from legends like Amy Winehouse and Carole King, Dean’s music is a lush tapestry of heartfelt lyrics, rich melodies, and a voice that feels like it’s been plucked straight from a vinyl record. Dean’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. After graduating from the prestigious BRIT School, she quickly gained traction with her debut EP *Ok Love You Bye* in 2019, which showcased her knack for blending vulnerability with wit. Her breakout single “Reason to Stay” became an anthem for the lovelorn, while her 2021 EP *Growth* solidified her as a voice of her generation. Collaborations with artists like Loyle Carner and Rudimental have further cemented her reputation as a versatile and magnetic performer. Beyond her music, Dean’s cultural impact lies in her ability to connect deeply with her audience, often exploring themes of love, identity, and self-discovery. Her recent single “Dive” has been hailed as a bold step forward, blending retro influences with contemporary production. As she prepares for her debut album, Olivia Dean is poised to become a defining voice in modern soul.
