Winnipeg native Olivia Lunny got her big break when she won the Canadian music competition show The Launch in 2020. Since then, the independent singer-songwriter has amassed more than 80 million global streams.
She’s had a top 40 single on US radio and a top 20 single at Canadian Pop Radio and toured alongside everyone from Ellie Goulding and Loreen to Justin Timberlake and BANKS.
On Oct. 16, Olivia released her new single, “Breakfast,” a fun, flirty pop track that she wrote herself. It follows her sophomore album, Velvet & Denim, which came out last year.
The single kicks off a new run of music, including a Christmas song, new music in January and an EP coming next spring. It also marks her return to a more colorful, feminine pop world.
We got the chance to chat with Olivia all about “Breakfast,” her go-to snack, her most-used emojis and the childhood dish she remembers most fondly. Read our full interview with her as our Woman Crush Wednesday below.
