Olivia De La Cruz

Singer-songwriter Olivia De La Cruz crafts fearless, emotionally raw songs that are a sultry blend of soul, rock, and Americana. Her songwriting explores themes of growth, heartache, healing, and self-discovery, often centering on women’s empowerment and radical emotional honesty.

Emerging from the Seattle music scene, Olivia released her self-titled debut album in 2013, followed by her sophomore record House of Memory in 2019, produced by Grammy-nominated producer Marcel Fernandez. She has also released collaborative singles with artists including Vicci Martinez, KR3TURE, and Torin Frost.

In 2015, Olivia founded Lucid, a live music venue in Sayulita, Mexico, which she owned and operated for seven years. Lucid grew into a staple of the local music community, hosting both touring and local artists while fostering a vibrant creative scene. Opening and running the venue gave Olivia a rare perspective on the music industry from both the artist and business side, shaping her ongoing commitment to artist advocacy and education.

A seasoned performer, she has played notable venues including The Triple Door and The Crocodile in Seattle, and Château Ste. Michelle. She has made appearances at festivals such as Seattle Folklife, Cascadia NW Festival, Summer Meltdown, Oregon Eclipse, and performs annually at Oregon Country Fair and Burning Man. Throughout her career she has opened for artists including Mason Jennings, Andrew Belle, Handmade Moments and performed with artists including Sunshine Jones, Whiskerman, Andrew Vait of SISTERS.

Today, Olivia continues to write, perform, and advocate for greater transparency and education within the music industry. She recently recorded a new EP in New Orleans with two-time Grammy-winning producer Justin Armstrong, scheduled for release in late 2026.
