About Olivia Eden: From Hollywood glam to Aussie bush, from classical student to pop perfectionist, it's been quite a journey for Olivia Eden. Her debut album, "Ordinary Girl" is a shimmering collection of beautifully crafted songs bristling with personality. Whether in the jauntiness of "Goodbye My Friend" or the gut wrench of "Smile", Olivia's vocals have a warm clarity that owe much to her operatic background. "Ordinary Girl" is destined to see Olivia Eden take her place as one of Australia's leading female singer songwriters. "Ordinary Girl" was recorded at Sony Studios Sydney. It was produced by Daniel Denholm (producer of Aussie band The Whitlams), arranged by AFI (Australian Film Industry) award winning composer, Stephen Rae, and features Terepai Richmond of The Whitlams on drums.
Australian audiences will know Olivia as the featured artist on 2 hit TV series, "The Alice" (Network 9) and "Love My Way" (Foxtel). "As Good As it Gets" was reviewed by PoprepublicTV as "a standout track" on the "Love My Way" CD soundtrack. Olivia's music has also been featured on the inflight programs of Qantas and Virgin Airlines.
