200+ WORD BIO

Reminiscent of alt-rock heavyweights like Paramore, Halestorm and The Pretty Reckless, Harley Olivia is unapologetic, theatrical, and fiercely honest in her music. A Toronto-based songwriter and former flight attendant who traded the skies for the stage, Harley delivers powerhouse vocals, emotionally-charged lyrics, and instantly hooky melodies as she dives headfirst into themes of mental health, self-doubt, and empowerment.

Her debut EP Hiding Little Pieces earned critical attention, with the single “You’re Not Ready” reaching the semi-finals for Best Rock Song in the Unsigned Only competition. She’s toured across Ontario, Alberta and performed at major showcases including Canadian Music Week, NXNE, Wintersong, and was crowned winner of the Jack Daniel’s Supporting Act Competition, Gussapolooza’s Rising Sun Award and the final 2026 The Road to Revelree competition.

Supported by multiple Ontario Arts Council grants, Harley has received coverage on CTV News and CBC Listen, airplay on stations including 94.9 The Rock, ROCK 95, and 89.9 MAX FM, and Garage to Glory’s Artist of the Week. With over 45K followers across social media, she continues collaborating with JUNO Award-winning producer Siegfried Meier, releasing her debut full-length album, Let Them Talk, in October 2026.

Known for her magnetic stage presence and high-voltage energy, Harley Olivia has shared the stage with Finger Eleven, July Talk, Bleeker, My Son The Hurricane, Sumo Cyco and Kasador. Unafraid to say the things we’re taught to keep quiet, Harley delivers a high-octane brand of alt-rock that makes it clear she was born for the stage.

IN THE PRESS

"That song was incredible. I definitely wanna hear more. That song stuck out to me.”

-Marc Solheim (Talent buyer for Riotfest) on Harley's song Diggin'

"The Pretty Reckless is a really good shout for a band that these would look amazing on tour with. Phenomenal voice, and the band is absolutely kick ass as well, between all of them they seem to have a really big sound, and again one of those artists that you look at and go, they’re fucking ready, you know. They’re ready. They’re ready for their opportunity.”

- Ben Pritchard (BSBTV)

"I love the combination of influences that the band mixes into their show, it’s heavy as hell one moment and dancey the next, you never know what’s coming next, but you know it’s going to be good!"

- Jesse Read (Dropout Entertainment)
