My name is Olivia Conway, I am a 16 year old country singer and songwriter from Pembroke, NH. I started singing when I was 8 years old. My first ever performance was singing the National Anthem on Veterans day at Pembroke Hill School.
From there, I went on to sing National Anthems statewide, at places including Delta Dental Stadium, Tri- Town Arena and more. When I was around 12 years old I started taking interest in guitar playing and songwriting.
My dream was always to be a country singer. After 2 years of self learning and guitar lessons through Pembroke Academy, I started to sing and play at open mics. Spring of 2024, I decided to quit my part-time job as a cashier at Shaw’s to pursue music. I was determined to play shows and make a living while doing what I love.
In the summer of 2024 I was part of a competition called “Americas Next Top Hitmaker” through Rolling Stones magazine. This competition gave me many opportunities to get my name out there. I was featured on WMUR twice and WOKQ 97.5. That summer,
I placed in the quarter finals of the competition and started getting hired to play gigs. I now gig full time, often booked every week. Just a few months later in October of 2024, I wrote a song called “Rearview.” I worked with producer/engineer Randy Roos (Grammy Award Winner, Berklee Professor) to record the song at Squam Studios. My music teacher, Scott Thibedeau (Pembroke Academy) stepped in to play acoustic guitar on the track, with Randy on bass guitar.
