Videos of Olivia at Tootsie's:





InfluencesMy hometown, Harrisonville, MO & all the wonderfully quirky Harrisonvillians!

My parent's vinyl & my hairbrush microphone!

My father's corny sense of humor, empathetic heart, & strong soul!

My husband, Aaron & his cheesy 80's rock obsession!

My children Luke & Joey and their wide-eyed wonder & invincibility!

My fans & their belief in my music!

My Girl Scout Troop 900 sisters & the rest of the girls I hiked & camped with!

My musical heroes, who went before me and proved that women could change the world with song:

Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Emylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, the Judds, Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, Amy Grant & yes, even Taylor Swift!

   About Olivia West




A little bit about me:

I grew up in the outskirts of Kansas City, MO, in a small town called Harrisonville. My daddy was a roofer and Church of Christ preacher, and Mom stayed at home.

All I ever wanted to be was a singer. I've never been able to go to a concert without wishing I was onstage. I remember being jealous of Alabama when my dad took me to my first concert at the age of 7.

When I was a little girl, Dad told me that Patsy Cline's voice was so smoothe and beautiful because she ate so many peas. For years I swallowed peas while holding my nose so I could sound like Patsy.

Now, I'm happily married to my High School sweetheart and have two beautiful boys (named Luke and Joey) and a dog named Patsy Cline. We're all living the dream in Nashville, TN!!!







Some quotes about me:

"Watching Olivia grow as a writer has been great. Seeing her turn that creative corner is what every "old dog" writer hopes for! Welcome to the "pack" Olivia!"
-Ralph Murphy
VP of ASCAP Nashville, hit songwriter, publisher and producer

"I heard Olivia singing at a local club for the first time and immediately after she got off stage I went up to her and asked her if she wanted to write. I was not only impressed with her voice and her writing but also with her upbeat outgoing personality."
-Mary Francis
Hit songwriter, "Whiskey If You Were A Woman" Highway 101, "Tonight the Heartache's On Me" Dixie Chicks

"For Olivia's 10th birthday she got this girlie hair stying kit and of course, the hair brush wasn't a hair brush. Her dad asked, "Is there anything we can get her that doesn't "turn into" a microphone or guitar?"
-Brenda West
Mom / songwriting instructor


Me and...


Olivia can sing on your demos! See how!!
