Olivia Eden is an Australian singer/songwriter whose music has a wide universal appeal. Her debut album"Ordinary Girl" was recorded at Sony Studios in Sydney.

Born in Hollywood, Olivia Eden was always destined to be a star. At the age of 8, Olivia moved from Los Angeles to the Australian bush.  She had little in the way of entertainment except for nature and her piano, and it has developed into an inseparable relationship.

Olivia’s unique style sets her apart even though she's been compared with artists like Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Madonna, Enya and The Corrs.  Her music is original, spirited, moving and soulful.  Her lyrics are honest and unpretentious, expressing human emotion in a myriad of forms with a focus on independence, love, fear, hope and relationships.

Trained as a young girl in classical singing and opera, this has had an influence on her beautiful, haunting sound and the richness of her voice.  Her songwriting and musicianship are equally as stunning as her voice.

Passionate about melody, strong harmony, and creating beautiful sounds, pop is where Olivia’s passion now lies.  However, the combination of the two-mastered forms, classical and modern, has helped the musical pop and Enya-esque sensation of Olivia Eden. What emerges from her divergent collections of sounds is an arresting, irresistibly hooky and refreshing pop voice, equally at home with classic pop artists and alternative playlists.  Important influences on her music have been George Michael, Sting, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Enya and The Corrs.

The sparkling pop sound of her debut EP “As Good As It Gets” earned her immediate success following its release in Australia, including “Single of the Week” in Platterlog Magazine, ABC National Radio, five out of five stars in MTV Pop Republic and Chaos Music.  All four tracks have also been selected and featured as part of Qantas and Virgin Airlines’ in-flight music programs.

Olivia has music credits on the soundtracks of top rated Aussie TV shows, "Love My Way" (Foxtel - this soundtrack won an award at the Australian Screen Music Awards), "The Alice", on Network 9, Australia's top TV network, and now on the soundtrack of the movie FLOAT (Zenith Films, Los Angeles), with her acoustic versions of “Faithful Traveler” and “Prove You Wrong” (© Olivia Eden 2008).

With a highly acclaimed debut album, Ordinary Girl, and an outstanding 6 nominations on the Official Ballot of the 2007 Grammy Awards, Olivia Eden is cementing her mark in the U.S and worldwide music scene.
