Bio

OLIVIA DE MELO | INDIE / ALT / POP

Olivia De Melo is back in 2024 with a wave of new indie tracks, after a big 2023 with national and international touring dates including the UK and Europe.

It’s not surprising that her fresh releases dip into multi-genre waters, but what remains iconic is De Melo’s distinctive alt pop vocals with rich harmonies and melody lines which allow her to swim in any genre of music, whilst remaining identifiably unique.

Olivia planted herself in the Perth music scene over 6 years ago when she picked up her poetry book, taught herself the guitar, & re-sparked her lost passion for music & performing from her school days.

Performing in many of WA’s most popular venues since, De Melo has supported & played alongside Aussie & WA favourites including Abbe May, Dulcie, Nick Cunningham, Timothy Nelson, Joan & The Giants, Otiuh, Old Blood, Riley Pierce, Teisha, Jordy Maxwell, & Michael Dunstan.

Balancing a life teaching in the special needs and disability sector juxtaposed with a passion for song-writing, the academic and the muso inside of Olivia are in sync.

The RTRFM radio presenter is also a passionate advocate for mothers and women in the music industry.
