On the 1st of February 2026, singer “Olivia Dean” won the best new artist of the year. She is very well known for her songs “Man I Need” & “ So Easy (To Fall In Love).” Many of her songs are known for being really soulful, warm, and honest. Listeners often find comfort or sense a personal connection in her songs. Olivia Dean is an only child that was born and raised in East London. She often talks about how the diversity and the vibe of London really inspired her work as a young artist.
Senior Dehaj Baltimore stated that “Olivia Dean is a great upcoming artist and all of her music is just great and it has a really good message.” Her music inspires other people, especially upcoming artists trying to find their way in the music industry and people who are really going through tough times. On October 30th, 2025, Olivia Dean did an interview with Vanity Fair for their Self-Portrait series — in this interview she talked about self love saying “Think about the people that you love the most in your life… whoever that person is that your like, Wow, I really love you, like I have so much love for you — Talk to yourself that same way.”
Librarian, Mrs Ivory stated that “ She feels Olivia Dean is out here making great music and even though she doesn’t know much about her and only has her on her spotify list of music to listen to while she is driving, she thinks Olivia Dean is going to be something big.” In the same way Mrs Ivory explained her knowledge of Olivia Deann, many people out there may not know her that well but just know some of her popular music. Although I think this new Grammy’s that she won will change that, her fans recently have been significantly increasing after the new Grammy’s that she won. Mrs Ivory also explained that “the new Grammy’s that Olivia Dean won was well deserved.”
In the end, we see Olivia Dean not just as a phenomenal song writer but as a compassionate and caring person. She is loved by many and it’s because her songs bring some kind of peace or she brings the feeling of “a breath of fresh air” to fans listening to her music. She is also seen giving motivational speeches on some interviews that she was seen in.
