London-based singer, songwriter and guitarist, Olive Jones draws on soul, blues and alt-folk to produce her sumptuous melody driven music. Growing up singing along to the records of jazz greats and soul icons, the voice and its ability to captivate and evoke emotion has always been at the forefront of her musical passion.
Her songwriting aims to capture an essence of being human; exploring topics of love, loss and communication observed through her lived experience. Expect honey-drenched vocals, luscious production, beautiful harmony and songs that will stay with you long after you've listened. After being awarded the Women Make Music grant from the PRS Foundation last year Olive released her first three singles through Republic of Music.
Since August 2023 she has accumulated over 1.2M monthly listeners on Spotify with over 1.9 million streams across her singles and received support from the BBC introducing team at Radio Solent. Olive has toured as the featured artist with Leeds soul outfit Gotts Street Park and collaborated with them on their leading album track “Tell Me Why” as featured vocalist. The single was playlisted on BBC6 Music and championed by Elton John on his Rocket Man show on Apple Music.
She has supported rising star Jalen Ngonda on his 2023 and 2024 tours in UK and European cities as well as opening for the legendary Nitin Sawhney on his UK run earlier in the year. She has recently returned from performing with Bombay Bicycle Club as their female vocalist on their tours throughout the UK, Europe and North America. She supported them at a number of venues on the EU tour and in Mexico this May. Now Olive is due to release an EP in October 2024 and support American artist Aaron Frazer on his UK and EU dates.
