On this EntScoop Chats, Taylor Reardigan had the pleasure to sit a talk to the multi-talented, Olivia King. King is a singer, songwriter and entrepreneur all in one so watch out! As an artist who enjoys consistency, she has put out two recent singles! One is entitled “With A Little Bit Of Love” and the other “Take A Shot” that she actually released today! We just know we’ll see more of her in the future! 

Her Journey & Success

When King was first starting her music career she told us she did many live performances. ” I do think it’s important to get a lot of those under your belt when you first start because it definitely does give you that confidence and the more you do it, the more it just comes natural to you.” 

To gain some exposure, she auditioned for both American Idol and The Voice. She quickly found that American Idol was not for her, but The Voice seemed like a better fit. She made it through a few rounds but was ultimately cut. She looks at the experience now and views it as a blessing in disguise. She was young and didn’t want to be tied down by a contract. 

When she finally was able to release music she did so on Tidal. She expressed that her experience with them was a lot easier than any other streaming platform. They were easy to contact, they put her on the cover of their “Pop Rising” playlist and they pay more per stream! When working with them, she got the sense that they cared about new/rising artists. 

One memorable experience she’s had would have to include writing a song for Stranger Things actor Caleb McLaughlin for the “Be Your Best Self” campaign. She wrote and recorded a demo for that song in about 30 minutes which is pretty impressive by our standards.
