About Me

Profile edited with: CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor Olivia is a good name. By itself, just like that, no last name, no further explanations. Sounds like the name of a band. It isn’t, though not by far.Olivia is a singer. But also writes songs, plays piano, is a gifted lyricist and a singular producer. And even when she sings, Olivia is more than just a vocalist: she manages to blend her mellifluous voice with the distinguished beat of her compositinos, always with a clear, personal style, permeating the tracks of her two albuns, “Olivia” (2000) and “Perto”(2003), with na extremely pleasant tone.At once enjoyable and sophisticated, her albuns unveils an elaborate melodic work, offering a mix of guitar sounds, textures, grooves and eletronic ambiences of several colors.Olivia’s voice seems simple, but not as simple as that. Her delicate femininity conveys a to-the-point sensuality, supported by strong melodies and dancing grooves_ a femininity dressed in complex arrangementes, carefully tailores. They are good records to listen to, dance to, sing along, and to let yourself be carried away by the dreamy sounds, such as the beautiful classical influences turned fresh, authentic pop. A mix of our legacy and of everything we have grown to expect from contemporary artists. Let her music play on: it is food for the senses.The project Jazzy Stuff!: The third cd: “2por2” and the fourth: “12”While some trends overdo it on production and overload the listener with poorly refined and heavy sounds, Olivia offers two elegants CDs that are highly refined and extremely delicate, though still extremely rich. With a gifted and highly expressive voice she interprets Tom Jobim, Miles Davis, Arthur Hamilton, Jorge Benjor, Baden Powell, Paulinho da Viola, Ary Barroso, Caetano Veloso and with great sensitivity and style she gives us surprising renditions of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Ben Harper, AC/DC, Cream, Deep Purple, Rolling Stones and The Doors. Olivia is the perfect union of technique and emotion, producing a sound that is both sensitive and touching.Olivia recorded and produced a new album, in a folk rock style, singing Frank Krischman`s songs. "Full Bloom" is a result of São Paulo-Austin connection!! Listen "Iwill take you home" and check out the new Album: FULL BLOOM, a colaboration with Frank Krischman. At stores now!
