OLIVIA

OLIVIA (Olivia Lufkin) is a bilingual artist on the cutting edge sub-label of Avex. OLIVIA was born in Okinawa, but has lived in the US for roughly six years. She was scouted from the Okinawa Actors School and was asked to join a eurobeat band called D&D. She accepted, and debuted in 1996 with the single "IN YOUR EYES". The band was semi-successful, and OLIVIA later decided to go solo.
OLIVIA's music style has changed from a quite poppy sound into an experimental rock one. She now writes and composes all of her material. Though OLIVIA was on a hiatus for around two years after the release of 2004's The Lost Lolli, OLIVIA returned in 2006 to sing the ending theme song to the anime adaptation to Yazawa Ai's manga NANA, a little pain. OLIVIA has so far continued to make music for the anime.
Both of OLIVIA's siblings are musicians as well. Her brother, Jeff, is in a band and her sister Caroline is an electronica artist under the US indies label Temporary Records. OLIVIA even drew the CD art for Caroline's Murmurs album.
