Olivia Lane: Texas Country Singer Is Heading Across the Pond to London This Year

Much of Olivia’s confidence is rooted in her Texas upbringing. Her mother was a local Texas Country singer that inspired her to sing and start writing songs at age 16. Olivia ultimately landed in Nashville, where her self-titled debut EP stirred interest beyond Music Row in 2016.

Olivia bids influence to Linda Ronstadt and Carole King with the production and energy of Shania Twain. “If I have to categorise myself I’d have to say I’m pop country. Growing up I was a musical melting pot, but country music always had the lyrics that drew me in."
