Olivia Lunny

Canadian singer/songwriter Olivia Lunny delivers a dynamic breed of alt-pop, instantly infectious but full of emotional depth. After taking up guitar and writing her first song at age 12, the Winnipeg native soon ascended to national fame, earning a Western Canadian Music Award nomination for Pop Artist of the Year when she was 17 and scoring a Top 40 hit with her 2019 single “I Got You.” In the making her 2020 debut EP To the Ones I Loved, Lunny channeled vulnerability in tracks like “Bedsheets”—a ballad hailed by Ones to Watch as “heart-wrenching.” The EP drew widespread attention, garnering millions of streams and praise from Billboard, PAPER, Refinery 29, American Songwriter, and Parade. With her recent milestones including winning the Young Canadian Songwriter Award from the SOCAN Foundation and inking her own label imprint Infinity & Recordings, distributed in partnership with Universal Music Canada and globally through Virgin Music, the 22-year-old artist is now set to release her full-length debut. Lunny created a debut album that’s emotionally raw in its exploration of love and its many dimensions. “I’d love for these songs to become part of the soundtrack to people’s experiences—whether they put on a sadder song to get their feelings out and cry, or put on one of the poppier songs to celebrate,” she says. “As an artist that’s all you can really wish for: to leave an imprint on somebody’s life and let them know that someone else understands what they’re feeling.”
