About Olivia Dean

Olivia Lauryn Dean (born 14 March 1999) is an English singer and songwriter. Her accolades include four Brit Awards and the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Dean signed with AMF Records and Virgin EMI Records in 2019 after her self-released song "Reason to Stay" went viral. She released her debut album, Messy (2023), to critical acclaim, earning a nomination for the Mercury Prize. She achieved wider recognition with her second album, The Art of Loving (2025), which topped the UK Albums Chart and included the UK number 1 single "Man I Need", which also reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. With the additional singles "Nice to Each Other", "So Easy (To Fall in Love)", and "Rein Me In", Dean became the first female solo artist to have four singles in the UK Top 10 simultaneously. The latter single, performed by her and fellow British singer-songwriter Sam Fender, is the longest-running number-one in UK chart history. Together with the singles "Nice to Each Other", "So Easy (To Fall in Love)", and "Rein Me In", Dean became the first female solo artist to simultaneously have four UK top-ten singles. In 2017, Dean performed her first show at the Sziget Festival in Hungary before a crowd of 16,000. So nervous at first that she turned her back to the audience, she cried while singing but still won second place. Her accolades include four Brit Awards and a Grammy Award.
