Olivia West

In many ways, Olivia West is just a typical midwestern girl-next-door. Her daddy was a roofer and a Church of Christ preacher and her mom was a housewife in a small town on the outskirts of Kansas City. She even married her High School sweetheart after graduation and has two kids. But Olivia is driven to sing. Her songwriting draws you into the world she grew up in, but her passionate and flawless vocals prove she's not meant to stay typical for long. Olivia's career began long before she knew it. She started writing songs when she was 4 and re-writing them when she was in the first grade. At the age of 12, Olivia got her first paycheck as a guest star of the Truman Lake Opry. Since moving to the music city, Olivia has been scheduled to play at the Bluebird Cafe, The Nashville Palace, Tootsie's Orchid Lounge and every other prominent Songwriter and Cover venue in Nashville. She's shared a bill with John Rich, Lee Brice, Trent Tomlinson, Lady Antebelleum, Steel Magnolia, Josh Thompson, The Trailer Choir, Matt Kennon and many more. In the summer of 2010 Olivia and her band landed a house-band gig in the competitive music valley area working 6 nights a week for 4 or 5 hours a night. Now, they're planning a tour and getting ready to bring this music to her fans outside of Nashville.
