She currently studies with Damian O'Keeffe and has also had a consultation lesson with Dame Emma Kirkby. Olivia graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a First-Class honours degree in Biomedical Science. In 2013 she made her solo debut in the North Wales International Music Festival, returning in 2015 to sing the soprano solos in the Mozart Requiem and 2016 to sing a variety of works on the Festival's opening night. Olivia appears as the soloist in John Hosking's "Requiem" on the Regent CD "All Angels Cry Aloud" with the Choir of Selwyn College, Cambridge. She has been broadcast seven times on the BBC's "Introducing" scheme and was the recipient of the 2018 Worshipful Livery Company of Wales “Sickle Foundation Award”. Olivia has an early music partnership with John Hosking, focusing on Italian and English song from the 16th and 17th centuries. She has recently released her first solo disc, "Musick to Heare" with John for the Willowhayne label to critical acclaim.
