Born in Brooklyn and now dwelling in Queens, Olivia Theresa Longott is a multi-cultural stunner, blessed with parents of Jamaican, Indian and Dominican descent. She claims her mother named her after Olivia Newton John before she was born, as she knew her daughter would one day be a singer. Then low and behold, Olivia emerged from babyhood singing ABC's that gave goose bumps, proving that above all else she was indeed a singer first.

Later as a seven-year-old tomboy with a boyish, raspy voice, Olivia stopped people in their tracks, surprising them with her commanding vocal chords and perfect pitch. Instinctively, the child sung from her diaphragm, which was perfected by both singing in the church choir and performing "Michael Jackson" shows for anyone who dared to cross her path.

Olivia's song writing skills were most likely born from her penchant for penning poetry, a craft that won Olivia awards in school. The actuality that Olivia grew to be a straight A student as a teenager was more than impressive, it was a brilliant ploy to keep her parents at bay so she could join her cousin Paul in the recording studio nearly every day. Paul, still a major catalyst in her career, arranged Olivia's guitar, piano and vocal lessons and witnessed his cousin's discipline and dedication to music blossom to the monstrous proportion it is today.

Yet in spite of her insatiable appetite for singing, working in the studio and writing music, Olivia did make her professional parents proud by attending college at both Hofstra University and give Towns College. But faced with the overwhelming supposition that Clive Davis' J Records would offer her a record deal in August 2000, Olivia put college on a back burner to be revisited one day.

After her journey with J Records, only releasing 2 singles, and her first studio effort "Olivia", Olivia went on a long hiatus only to emerge in late 2004 and announce that she was apart of the infamous G Unit clique. Olivia being the First Lady of the group brings a new spice to the group. She speaks from a female perspective and holds it down for the ladies. With a new album due out February 2007 titled "Second Chance", modeling for G Unit clothing and eventually starting her own lingerie side of the G Unit line Olivia is no where ready to slow down, as she's here to show the ladies how it should be done!
