Biography

Hi!!! My name is Olivia!! I'm a songwriter, an actress, and a huge Swiftie. Writing music is my favorite thing in the whole world. I've been doing it ever since I can remember. My parents have old VHS videos of me making up ridiculous songs when I was too young to even know how to write words. I've always loved telling stories and songwriting is the perfect medium to tell them in a really vulnerable, personal way. You might have heard my song “All I Want” that I wrote for Highschool Musical the Musical the Series, which is a show I also get to act in. I wrote that song in my living room during finals week of sophomore year. I was truly just so grateful the producers of the show let me have any part in making the music, I didn't think about anyone hearing it let alone liking it. The outpouring of support the song got was insane. I know people write songs to make their listeners feel less alone but reading everyone's stories and reactions to the song actually made ME feel so seen. It was an experience I wouldn't trade for the world. The song has opened up so many doors for me and as I'm writing this, I am putting the finishing touches on my first EP. Figuring out what I want my own music to sound like has been hella challenging but so much fun. I still write songs in my bedroom almost every day too. I learn more about myself and songwriting every day, and I think that's so fun. I feel really lucky. I'm so stoked for the future and I feel so grateful that I get to make music. - Spotify

Would've loved for Sweet Melody to be a multi-week #1 but drivers license has grown on me a lot

January 15, 20215 yr

I wish Little Mix were still on top, still #2 is still a great position and the song SLAYS

January 15, 20215 yr

Well glad this snuck in a week at #1. Definitely my fave ever Little Mix song now.

As much as I detest the Olivia song, fair play for someone I'd never even heard of before last weekend coming from out of absolutely nowhere to grab UK #1. This wasn't even in the First Look show from memory.

Biography

Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie’s bold, booming voice has resonated around the world, both as a consummate dance-music collaborator and a brassy pop powerhouse. Born Anne-Marie Nicholson in Essex in 1991, the singer/songwriter never thought she’d make it far beyond her small village, but she was already making waves in London as a child, performing in prestigious West End theatre productions and becoming a karate world champion. Such ambitions undoubtedly helped prepare her for major festival stages—which she’d soon dominate as a rising vocalist in the electronic music world. After being discovered by Elton John’s management company, Rocket Music, in 2013, Anne-Marie lent her skyscraping vocals to tracks by dubstep/DJ supergroup Magnetic Man, garage duo Gorgon City and drum ‘n’ bass hitmakers Rudimental, who invited her to guest on their 2015 album We the Generation and join their extensive world tour. Going forward, she’s been a go-to vocalist and songwriter, pairing up with artists like Snakehips, James Arthur, Nick Jonas, David Guetta and Lauv. But her biggest breakthrough came in 2016 with Clean Bandit, whose single “Rockabye” with dancehall superstar Sean Paul became a multi-platinum global smash, largely thanks to Anne-Marie’s honeyed croons and playful lyrics, which offer an empowering twist on single motherhood. Since releasing her 2018 debut album, Speak Your Mind, the singer has been building up an enviable catalogue of self-love odes (“Perfect to Me”), sassy club bangers (Marshmello collab “FRIENDS”), nostalgic pop love songs (“2002”, co-written with Ed Sheeran) and throbbing coming-of-age anthems (the Doja Cat-featuring “To Be Young”). Even as a solo star, she continues to have no qualms about sharing the spotlight. “I just think collaborations are beautiful,” she told Apple Music. “I don’t think collaborations will ever stop with me.” - Apple Music

KSI

British rapper KSI made as much of a name for himself with his online videos and boxing as he did with his music, but the multi-faceted entertainer wore many hats as he built his empire of one. He moved from satirical songs in his earliest days into more nuanced songwriting and production on his breakthrough 2015 single "Lamborghini," refining his sound even more on subsequent projects like the venomous 2018 EP Disstracktions.

Born Olajide Olatunji, KSI was known as KSIOlajideBT in 2008 when he became a regular video game commentator, uploading his videos to the web, most of them focused on the FIFA series. It was a footballer who inspired him to try his hand at rap as Emile Heskey was the topic of "Heskey Time," a satirical rap that kicked off a series of football-mocking songs, including 2012's "Sweaty Goals" with Randolph. In 2013 he joined rapper Sway on his single "No Sleep," and in 2014 he appeared on producer Droideka's track "Get Hyper." In 2015 he dropped his own track, "Lamborghini" featuring P-Money, along with "Keep Up," which was also the title cut for 2016's debut KSI EP. His book KSI: I Am a Bellend appeared that same year and was released under the title KSI: I Am a Tool in the United States. He was briefly signed to Island Records but cut ties with the label after the release of 2016 EP Jump Around. The next several years found KSI staying busy with content creating, boxing, and a growing music career, working independently to trickle out singles like 2017's "Creature" and projects like the 2018 EP Disstracktions. He became more involved in boxing, escalating beefs with other online video creators into full-on white-collar boxing matches. Particularly spectacular was his dispute with American Internet personality and occasional music-maker Logan Paul. In 2019, KSI signed a deal with RBC Records, immediately issuing his first single "Down Like That" on November 7 of that year. The song featured cameo appearances from Rick Ross, S-X, and Lil Baby and peaked at number ten on the U.K. Singles Chart. He followed this success with second single, "Wake Up Call," featuring Trippie Redd, in January of 2020. His debut full-length, Dissimulation, arrived in May of that year. Featuring collaborators from Jeremih to Offset, the album demonstrated the musician's skill on the mike, as well as his proficiency in genres from trap to Afro-swing. - Apple Music

Digital Farm Animals

Digital Farm Animals was the nom de plume of British electronic dance producer and DJ Nick Gale. Emerging in the 2010s, he got his start songwriting and remixing pop, R&B, and electronic acts before signing his own deal in 2015. Early charting singles include 2016's "Only One" with Sigala and a hit collaboration with Cash Cash, "Millionaire," as well as 2017's "Back to You" with Louis Tomlinson and "All Falls Down" with Alan Walker.

Born and brought up in Stanmore in northwest London, he caught the music-making bug at age 13 after a friend gave him a copy of the free music production software Fruity Loops. He became obsessed with the program and started making music every day, honing his skills by putting in countless thousands of hours at the computer, and continued through university at Nottingham, where he came up with his moniker -- his dorm room overlooked a farm. He gained a law degree and after detested stints as a trainee solicitor, a "terrible" barman, and an advertising salesman, he got himself a manager in 2013 and released his debut EP, Bugged Out. The release got him noticed and the buzz started opening doors for him. His hard work finally paid off when, in 2015, he signed a deal with Simon Cowell's Syco Records. That year he appeared as a featured artist on drum'n'bass star Netsky's "Rio," co-wrote and produced Dua Lipa's "Be the One," and released his own debut single "True." The following year, his second feature with Netsky, "Work It Out," hit the Top Five in Belgium; he racked up further production and songwriting credits for Alex Newell, Galantis, and Jones, and released three further singles. The most successful, "Millionaire," with Cash Cash and Nelly, hit number 25 on the U.K. singles chart. In 2018, he teamed up with Shaun Frank and vocalist Dragonette on the summery single "Tokyo Nights," following the next year with the Danny Ocean-assisted "Lookin' For." - Apple Music

Biography

Joshua Bassett may sing, write, act, and play multiple instruments, but he humbly identifies himself as “just a kid from San Diego who loves music.” Long before starring in the Disney+ original series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, generating millions of streams, and garnering widespread acclaim, he grew up surrounded by music in the suburb of Oceanside, CA. Described by many as an “old soul,” he played drums in church, taught himself ukulele, guitar, and piano, and wrote his first song for his homecoming date at 15. In addition to being homeschooled alongside his five sisters, he was able to strengthen his voice as a singer and actor in local theater productions. After various television parts on Dirty John, Grey’s Anatomy and more, he landed the lead role of Ricky in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series which premiered in November 2019. Simultaneously, he feverishly wrote music. Inking a deal with Warner Records, he unveiled his solo debut “Common Sense” in 2020. Within a month, it tallied 5 million total streams and received praise from Idolator, Pop Sugar, and E! News who called it “a home run on his very first at bat.” On its heels, the single “Anyone Else” illuminates his vocal and instrumental range and hints it even bigger things on the horizon. - Spotify
