About

a little about me :)

Prince Edward Islander, Olivia Blacquiere has an extraordinary way of captivating audiences with stories told through song. Rooted in the Island’s rich cultural traditions, she draws inspiration from generations of step dancers, storytellers, and musicians who have nurtured her deep connection to music.

For Olivia, music starts at the heart. She was raised where PEI’s rugged red soil meets the gentle stillness of the sea : a place alive with kitchen parties, fiddle tunes, and stories shared from one generation to the next.

Whether lighting up a stage or sharing songs in everyday moments, Olivia embraces the joy of musical expression through her melodies on the piano and guitar, weaving heart and heritage into every note. Her voice carries the soul of her ancestors and the spirit of a new generation, blending timeless tradition with a deeply personal sound.
