About

Honest songs, sung in Romanian and English

Composer, singer-songwriter, and, more recently, a teacher too.

Her story

Olivia Mihet grew up in Bucharest, Romania, where she trained in composition, earning a Master's degree with First Class Honours. Music was never just a hobby: it was the language she reached for when everything else felt too loud or too quiet.

In 2022, she stepped into the Eurovision România national selection as a semi-finalist with her original song "Fragile," a song about being seen at your most breakable, sung in front of the biggest audience of her career so far.

Her music has since carried her onto international stages, and she now performs worldwide, bringing the band with her wherever a booking calls. In Dublin, she opened for Irina Rimes, one of Romania's leading singer-songwriters.

On 11 August 2024, she headlined her own debut concert, a night that led, a year later, to Dialog interior, a 2025 EP recorded in Bucharest with a live string ensemble and long-time collaborator Cormac McCarthy.

For Olivia, songwriting has always doubled as journaling and therapy: a way to be deeply honest on paper before she is honest out loud. Romanian folk melodies, embroidery motifs and the warmth of the household she grew up in run quietly through everything she makes, alongside her faith and her family.

Her work is deeply vulnerable and personal, because songwriting is her form of therapy and journaling. She aims to bring awareness, warmth, love and hope.

Community

At home with Romanians, wherever she performs

Wherever her music takes her, Olivia looks for the local Romanian community and joins in: singing, marching and celebrating alongside them, including at a Saint Patrick's Day parade under a "Romanian Community" banner.

It is one more thread in the same story: a Romanian voice, at home on stages everywhere, still rooted in where she began.
