There We Go!

Singer/songwriter Olivia Thompson was  born  and raised in Chicago, Illinois.  While growing up, music was all around her, but she never shared her talent with anyone until the age of 8 when her mother walked in on her singing Aaliyah’s “Four Page Letter”.

From that point on she gradually started singing for crowds and soon after joined her church choir and praise team. For Olivia, joining her church choir was a key factor in her  journey of perfecting her sound because she was taught about harmonies and  how  to connect with an audience on a intimate level.

Olivia competed in local  talent  shows and soon became known for her ability to sing and dance. At the age of 13  Olivia was named in her 8th grade year book as the “Best Singer”, which made her  very proud because it showed her that she may actually have a  future in singing. 

When Olivia was 14 her brother and his family decided to move to Oklahoma City  to have a greater chance at a better future. Shortly after her mother decided  that it would be best for herself, Olivia’s sister  Nicole, and Olivia to move to Oklahoma as well. This was very devastating to Olivia because she had to leave behind very close family and friends, but to her surprise she eventually liked  the move. 

Moving to Oklahoma city from Chicago was a major difference in many ways for Olivia, but it taught her about how to adapt  to different lifestyles. Not too long after moving to Oklahoma City she moved to Edmond, Ok and attended Edmond North High School. While being in the new  state no one knew of Olivia’s talents so music eventually became something in  the past for her. As junior and senior year came school became very tough for  Olivia and her grades started falling, as well as her confidence. She became very depressed and did the only thing that she knew would fill that void, she started writing music, and posting videos on Youtube. Graduation was near and  Olivia decided that moving back to her first home, Chicago where she attended  Harold Washington College. 

While in Chicago, Olivia began to take her families advice and pursue her music and she fell in love all over again. Olivia temporaily moved back to Oklahoma to attend college and pursue her music career, and the rest is  history.

 “I just want to be one of the lucky few artists who get to make a living doing what they love, for me it’s singing, dancing, and just being an all-around  entertainer. I hope my work speaks for itself and gets the respect it deserves.” - Olivia Thompson
