Biography
OLIVIA was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and grew up dividing her time between Italy and the United States. She started studying guitar and writing her first songs in middle school and later joined the high school choir. Under the guidance of Roy Zimmerman, she took her first theory of music classes in high school and discovered her passion for jazz. While pursuing her undergraduate studies at the University of San Francisco, she sang in two vocal ensembles directed by Rick Roberts: USF Women’s Voices and USF Jazz Voices. Around that same time, she had her first experiences as a recording artist and began collaborating with jazz and folk musicians around the Bay Area.
