Olivia Chindamo

Olivia Chindamo is a New York-based jazz vocalist from Australia whose unique voice effortlessly carries and delivers stories and melodies with the highest level of integrity, honesty, and musicianship. With a special love for improvisation, Olivia's musical endeavours offer a fresh combination of old and new as she continually fuses an ever expanding knowledge of jazz history with her modern sensibilities, impressive technique, and vocal versatility.

Recent highlights include her debut performance with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and travelling to Europe with Willie Murillo to perform and record with Big Band Liechtenstein. Having studied under the tutelage of some of America’s finest jazz musicians at the Banff International Workshop in Jazz & Creative Music in 2016, Olivia felt more drawn to the United States than ever before, inspiring her bold move to relocate to the other side of the world and fully pursue her love and passion for jazz music. Olivia is currently studying at The Juilliard School, where she is a part of the inaugural Jazz Voice graduate program.

As the first ever vocalist to receive the prestigious Bell Award for “Young Australian Jazz Artist of the Year” in 2016, Olivia has firmly cemented her place in her local and national jazz scene. Touring and performing frequently with her own projects and as a guest to globally celebrated artists such as James Morrison (AUS) and Willie Murillo (USA), Olivia is no stranger to the stage.
