British singer-songwriter Olivia Dean blends neo-soul, R&B, and pop into warm, emotionally honest music. Born and raised in London's Haringey, she studied at the BRIT School before signing with EMI. Her debut album Messy (2023) earned a Mercury Prize nomination and widespread critical acclaim. Her second album The Art of Loving topped the UK Albums Chart and produced the number-one single Man I Need, making her the first female solo artist to hold four UK top-ten singles simultaneously. A Grammy winner for Best New Artist and a multi-BRIT Award recipient, Dean has become one of the UK's most celebrated young voices.
