Olivia Dean
Olivia Dean is a British soul-pop and jazz-influenced singer-songwriter from North-East London who won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2026. Her second album 'The Art of Loving' (September 2025) debuted at UK #1 and spawned the monster hit 'Man I Need' - a song that spent 19 consecutive weeks at UK #1, peaked at US Billboard Hot 100 #2, and surpassed one billion Spotify streams. Rooted in the soul traditions of Lauryn Hill, Sade, and Amy Winehouse, Dean writes with disarming emotional clarity about love, identity, and self-worth. She is currently on 'The Art of Loving Live' world tour, which kicked off in Glasgow in April 2026.
