About

Olivia Ruiz isn't just a singer; she's a storyteller dripping in vintage charm and fiery Mediterranean spirit. Emerging from the incubator of "Star Academy" in France, Ruiz quickly shed the reality TV skin, revealing a sharp-witted songwriter capable of crafting vividly cinematic pop songs. Her sound, a beguiling blend of chanson, pop, and Latin rhythms, is punctuated by her distinctive, slightly raspy vocals. Albums like "La Femme Chocolat" (2005) and "Miss Météores" (2009) catapulted her to fame, showcasing her ability to transform personal anxieties and romantic follies into infectious, theatrical anthems. Ruiz’s signature lies in her lyrical depth and theatrical performances, breathing life into characters both vulnerable and fiercely independent. Collaborations with Mathias Malzieu (Dionysos) further cemented her artistic credibility. Beyond music, Ruiz has explored acting and writing, confirming her status as a multifaceted artist. She continues to tour and release music, most recently with "A Nos Corps-Rompus" (2024), demonstrating a commitment to pushing boundaries and captivating audiences with her uniquely compelling brand of French pop.
