200+ WORD BIO
Reminiscent of alt-rock heavyweights like Paramore, Halestorm, and Garbage, Harley Olivia is unapologetic, theatrical, and fiercely honest in her music. A Toronto-based songwriter and former globe-trotting 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 performed at major showcases including Canadian Music Week, NXNE, and VENUEXVENUE, and was crowned winner of both the Jack Daniel’s Supporting Act Competition and Gussapolooza’s Rising Sun Award in 2024.
Backed by multiple Ontario Arts Council grants, Harley’s music has received airplay on 94.9 The Rock, 89.9 MAX FM, CJLX FM, and ROCK 95, where she was named Garage to Glory’s Artist of the Week. She’s cultivated a dedicated following of over 13K on both TikTok and Instagram, while continuing her collaboration with JUNO Award-winning producer Siegfried Meier on her upcoming album.
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.
