Olivia Nied has been performing since she was was nine years old. In addition to playing solo, Olivia fronts both the indie band The Onlys, a horn-driven trio that explores pop, jazz and funk as well as Cats in the Limelight- a jazzgrass duo that sometimes acts as a trio- it's a long and cool story.
Olivia's professional career was jumpstarted in 2012 when she headlined at the Ukulele Festival of Great Britain after having won a YouTube competition and she has been touring in Europe as well as the US ever since.
In her spare time, Olivia records and works as a studio musician and has composed original music for modern dance companies as well as art installations in the US and enjoys giving back to her communities by playing for benefits and community events especially geared toward transpersons and children in K-12.
More recently, Olivia has received scholarships to Berklee College of Music's Summer Jazz Program (where she received honors), Vermont Jazz Center's Summer Program as well as a 4 year artistic achievement scholarship from Hampshire College that culminated in a Bachelor's Degree in music and film in 2020.
