It's Christmas Time in Music City!

By: Delaney Jennings

The Christmas season is right around the corner and we’re so excited that we decided to make a Christmas Playlist for you! This playlist features music from Ruthie Collins, Hush Kids, Street Corner Symphony, and other friends that we adore here at Olivia Management. We wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and hope that you enjoy this playlist for your holiday season!

Some of Our Favorite Lyrics by Our Artists

by Maddy Hicks

Not only are our artists amazing performers, but they are also exceptional songwriters. I wanted to highlight a few lyrics of theirs that make us smile, cry, and feel all the feels.

“So while you sit by the fireplace reading poetry

I will love every word that you say to me”

Alex Blue - “Mary”

“I was wrong

I'm sorry

And I love you”

Derek Webb - “I Was Wrong, I’m Sorry & I Love You”

“I knew it in the month of you

In the middle of your living room”

Christina Cone, Andrew Doherty (Frances Cone) - “’93 or ’94”

“The morning is made for the touch of your skin

The morning is made for ‘I love you’ again”

Jill Andrews, Peter Groenwald (Hush Kids) - “Morning Is Made”

“You’re like swimming in the river in the darkness

Never have to question where my heart is”

Jill Andrews, Trent Dabbs (Jill Andrews) - “River Swimming”

“We are raindrops in a river

One day we’ll all be memories

To be lost is to be looking”

Peter Groenwald, Fiona Bevan, K.S. Rhoads (Peter Groenwald) - “We Carry On”

“So what are you doing?

If it's no bother

Could I come over?

Hide under your covers

I swear I won't ask much

I've learned how to beg, steal, and borrow your love”

Ruthie Collins, Rick Brantley (Ruthie Collins) - “Beg Steal Borrow”

“Well, I been reelin’, left with my demons

But I still got feel

in’ in my arms and legs

And I’ve been thinking I’ll ride the blinds now

Maybe find a new town

One where I can see again”

Zachary Gibson Smith (Smooth Hound Smith) - “Waiting for a Spark”

“I keep in tax on all of the innocence I′ve lost

And all the mistakes that got me here

I've always felt a night like this was sure to come

Rain would finally let on”

Street Corner Symphony - “Myriad of Stars”

Hello Fall: Seasonal Tunes Just for You

by Bri Cummings

Fall is officially here! We have the perfect playlist for all your favorite fall festivities- cozy nights in, sitting in a coffee shop, or watching the pretty leaves fall. Enjoy the music that put us in the mood for autumn as well as new songs from our favorites. We’ve featured Smooth Hound Smith’s catchy cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Friend of the Devil” and Hush Kids’ sweet love song “Spend My Time” to make sure you’re up to date on our new favorite tracks.

Artist Spotlight: Alex Blue

By: Delaney Jennings

Here at Olivia Management we love how our artists are so unique and inspiring. We are so excited to have Alex Blue on our roster. We feel so blessed to have such a beautiful, talented artist to share her stories with the world.

_MG_9680.jpg

Alex Blue is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter who tells a unique story with every song. Alex began her career under the name Alex G. She posted cover videos on YouTube and at one time was the fastest growing music channel on the video streaming site. Under the name Alex G, she released an EP, a full length pop album, released over 200 songs, and also had campaigns with massive brands. However, after all of this Alex found herself being burnt out by all the demands for her time and attention. After taking some time to rediscover herself as a person and an artist, she relaunched her career, under her married name, Alex Blue. Since then she’s released multiple singles, collaborated on an EP with artists she’s admired for years, been hired as a songwriter, and played a supporting role in a Broadway scale musical podcast. Alex continues to write new music and a full length album is to come in the future. 


I want to share with you three of my favorite songs from Alex Blue: “Blue” , “Noise”, and her latest release “The Songbird”.

This first song is so amazing. I adore the way the melody flows and the harmony’s that add to the chorus.

This song is so captivating. Alex’s voice and just the guitar sound so beautiful together!

I love the idea behind this song. My favorite lyric is “if you’re changing, congratulations.” It’s a reminder that changing is not a bad thing it’s a beautiful thing.

It was so hard for me to narrow down my favorite Alex Blue songs to just three. Her voice is so soothing and whimsical. As I listen I feel as though time has stopped and I am in one of those slow motion videos where it’s just me standing in a meadow with the breeze blowing the flowers. I implore you to listen to these three songs as well as everything else from Alex Blue from now and the years to come.

Welcoming our Fall 2021 Interns!

New year, new semester. We all know what this means: great new additions to our team! We’re so excited for what lies ahead with these new interns we’re bringing on board. We’re over the moon to have Jessie Mellot back with us and introduce you to Brianna Cummings, Delaney Jennings, and Maddy Hicks. Keep reading to hear a little bit about why we just had to have them join us this semester.

Brianna Cummings

What do you love to do? Hobbies? Activities?

I like to bake, play guitar, read, and go on road trips! I can usually be found with my friends in the stands at a USC football game or Dodger baseball game, sitting in the grass somewhere (a rare commodity in LA), or in the GA section at a concert venue.

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Tough call, but I have to go with waffles.

Favorite musicians, artists, genres, equipment, shows you've been to...tell us anything and everything you love about music.

My first concert was One Direction's Take Me Home Tour with 5 Seconds of Summer in 2013 at the Staples Center... it was INCREDIBLE. Nowadays my favorite artists to see live are Bad Suns, Hippo Campus, and COIN. I love the storytelling aspect of music and gravitate towards artists who tell stories in their songs.

What is your favorite part about Nashville?

I've never been to Nashville, but I have seen Hannah Montana: The Movie 20+ times so take that as you will.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

A kind, supportive, and hardworking gal in the music industry.

Why did you choose to intern here?

I think that Olivia Management is a place where I can truly enjoy my work and the people working alongside me. I'm really excited to learn all about artist management!

What do you want to get out of this internship?

I hope to gain new industry-relevant skills, understand artist management on a deeper level, and be an asset to the Olivia Management team and their artists.

Delaney Jennings

What do you love to do? Hobbies? Activities?

I love to write music, go to concerts, watch movies, go to church, and traveling.

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Chicken nuggets or pizza.

Favorite musicians, artists, genres, equipment, shows you've been to...tell us anything and everything you love about music.

I love country music. Some of my favorite artists include Taylor Swift, Kelsea Ballerini, Jason Aldean, Carly Pearce, Maddie and Tae, and so many others. I have been to over 20 concerts and my list continues to grow! The feeling at a show and the lights go down, the crowd gets louder and the first note hits. That feeling sticks with me every single time. I adore concerts and music. The way that music connects us all is so mesmerizing. Everyone has their opinions on what genres and artists they like but whatever you do like you can find someone who agrees and you can make genuine connections just through music.

What is your favorite part about Nashville?

My favorite part about Nashville is that music is literally everywhere. Every corner you turn there is live music being played. I have never been anywhere else like Nashville and I have always been drawn to this amazing city.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I am not exactly sure what I want to be yet. I know I want to work in the music industry but I am not sure which of the many paths I want to take yet.

Why did you choose to intern here?

I chose to intern here because I'm interested in management and working with artists and Olivia Management's team really impressed me in my internship search and I am excited for the opportunity to learn from this great team.

What do you want to get out of this internship?

I want to gain experience in management and new skills in a business setting that I can then take into my future career.

Maddy Hicks

What do you love to do? Hobbies? Activities?

I love writing, recording, and performing music! I'm also a big movie/TV show fan, and I love to read.

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Spaghetti and meatballs.

Favorite musicians, artists, genres, equipment, shows you've been to...tell us anything and everything you love about music.

Taylor Swift is my all-time favorite; she's been a huge role model to me as a songwriter, performer, and businesswoman, and I've loved following the trajectory of her career. My favorite live show experience is probably seeing Paramore at Nashville Municipal Auditorium. My top albums right now are SZA's Ctrl, HAIM's Women In Music Pt. III, and Hayley Williams' FLOWERS for VASES / descansos. I listen to all genres, but my favorites are pop and alternative. And I think my favorite part about music is the actual song itself. I love analyzing what went into writing it, and I love experiencing it on an emotional level. It's so fascinating how it engages both sides of the brain!

What is your favorite part about Nashville?

My first favorite part about Nashville is the way that it inspires me. There are creatives everywhere, and the networking nature of the city empowers me to connect and learn from some hugely talented people. Everyone is so kind, too. In that way, it sometimes feels more like a small town than a city.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Primarily, I want to fully support myself as an artist through writing, recording, and touring. But I'm also interested in writing for/with others, and I would love to write a film script or a musical at some point. And I'm super interested in music supervision! I have a lot of different interests, but as long as I'm working on something creative, I'll be happy.

Why did you choose to intern here?

I heard about this internship from Madison Moll and Kylie Rose, and they expressed how much they learned from it and how beneficial it was for their careers overall. I felt more passionate about the internship the more I heard about it. The energy of the company is one that I really resonate with, and I can see myself learning a lot and achieving my best work here.

What do you want to get out of this internship?

I would love to learn how to promote an artist to achieve professional success. As part of that, I'm excited to learn more about networking and industry standard practices when it comes to communication.

Female Representation In Music Industry Executive Positions Is Lacking

By Madison Moll

Within the past 2 weeks, the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative’s newest report entitled “New report shows diversity on the charts, but not in executive ranks of music companies” highlighted some not-so-shocking statistics about women in music industry roles, specifically in higher-up executive positions.

The study examined executive diversity in three ways: among CEOs and presidents across 70 major and independent companies, across senior management teams at nine major music companies, and in executive roles across 119 companies from the VP-level and above in different industry categories.

As an artist management company run mostly by women, it is interesting to see such little representation in other large areas of the industry. Covering 4,060 executives from the vice president level to C-Suite roles across 119 companies and industry categories including record labels (reported 11.7% women in executive roles), publishing (reported 22.2% of women in executive roles), streaming (reported 7.1% women in executive roles), live music (reported 6.7% women in executive roles), and radio (reported 20% women in executive roles) (See image above).

Next in other major positions, amongst 70 major and independent music companies, only 13.9% of the people in the roles of CEO, Chairmen, and Presidents were reported to be women. This is more of a median statistic compared to the previous findings in the five different industry categories.

And finally, data provided from 9 major music companies broke down and reported their percentages for women in leadership positions in areas such as Music Groups (31.6%), Radio & Streaming (23.4%), and Live Music & Concert Promotion (40.6%). The highest being Live Music & Concert Promotion is a step in the right direction for inclusion and equality, but there still are miles required to get to full inclusion of women in music industry leadership roles

As women and advocates for women’s equality in executive roles in the music industry, it is crucial for you to let your voice be heard and to speak out about inequality in these roles so that we all can see change!

A Day In The Life Of An Intern

by Kylie Rose

Ever wondered what the day-to-day of one of the best artist management & consultation companies looks like? Well, seek no further ladies and gents, welcome to a day in the life of an intern here at Olivia Management!

Coming upon my sixth month here at OM, my tried-and-true first morning step is logging in to check my Asana task board. Asana is a team project management platform, designed to easily format task distribution. I’ll login, check what tasks/projects I am working on today, ask my questions, and get started!

Screen Shot 2021-06-30 at 11.22.09 AM.png

Up first this morning, I worked on shipping out merchandise with some of our rockstar interns, Jessie Mellot and Madison Moll. Using systems like Shipstation and Squarespace, we packaged up some t-shirts for our artist Jill Andrews (which are so cute and available here, wink wink).

Coming up next on our intern lineup for the day, I start checking our artist’s ticket links and sales. Now that live music is starting back in full swing here in music city, we’ve got a lot of brand new tour dates on our hands. My job is to check that the links venues provide are functioning well, all of the information is correct, and our artists’ branding is up to date. 

Here comes one of my personal favorite moments, lunch break with an (almost) full intern crew! The biggest draw for my interest in interning here was the honest connection and trust between every member of our team. Since one of our newest interns, Cali, was in town, we stopped in for a special lunch munch at The Nashville Farmers Market!

IMG_3327.jpg

My last project of the day was to write up this wonderful blog on all of the day's details! What I love about it here is that everyday brings new challenges and lessons learned. Whether it's attending our artists’ shows, creating tour spreadsheets, producing content for youtube, creating graphics, etc. There is never a moment that I am not learning something new to apply to my career in the music business. 

If you’re interested in interning here at Olivia Management, which honestly who wouldn’t be, we are currently interviewing applicants for Fall or Spring 2021!

Welcoming New Interns to the Team!

It’s summertime! And thank goodness because summer means new interns! It’s an honor and a privilege for us to introduce to you our brand new interns. Please welcome Jessie Mellott, Dawson O’Brien, and Cali Weddle to the team! Though we haven’t known them long, it’s obvious they’re full of passion, drive, and kindness. You can learn a little bit about them with us by reading on below!

Welcome to the team, you guys! So glad you’re here.

Jessie Mellott

What do you love to do? Hobbies? Activities?

Aside from music, I love soccer, drama tv shows/movies, and fantasy novels. I love watching women's soccer and British premier league. Some drama shows I like watching are Supergirl, Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries, and Gossip Girl, but I also loved the comedy show The Good Place. Some of my favorite book series are The Darkest Minds and The Taking.

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?

Mangos! I know it's not a meal, but I love mangos.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I have not quite decided yet between management or publishing. I think both sound very interesting and am looking to figure out which I would prefer to pursue.

Favorite musicians, artists, genres, equipment, shows you’ve been to...tell us anything you love about music.

My taste is music has been changing a little since I started college. I used to exclusively listen to pop, but I currently love listening to folk, acoustic, and alternative music. One of my current favorite artists is Gordi and I have loved Jason Mraz for many years. In my hometown, Hershey, PA, I saw my first concert Matchbox 20 and the Goo Goo Dolls, as well as Train and Maroon 5. I also enjoyed seeing For King and Country here in Nashville my freshman year, but haven't been able to see too much down here because COVID hit in the middle of my freshman year. I am excited to start seeing live music again as more continues to open up. I love that music can bring people together through artists and songwriters experiences and carry you through tough times by connecting to songs on a deeper level. Music is taken in through your ears, but I love the way music can make you feel in your heart.

What is your favorite part about Nashville?

I'm not sure exactly what my favorite thing is, but the difference in weather from my hometown in Pennsylvania is nice. I also find that people tend to be slightly nicer here out on the streets.

Why did you choose to intern here? 

I chose to intern here because of what I took away from the spring internship fair at Belmont. I knew I was looking to intern at a management company, but really liked the conversation I had with Erin and Maggie about the work environment and being able to learn as much as I can with this opportunity.

What would you like to get out of this internship?

I am hoping to use this experience to be able to apply what I am learning in my classes at Belmont and learn more at Olivia Management through hands-on experience. My goal is to do and learn as much as I am able to during my time here.

Dawson O’Brien

What do you love to do? Hobbies? Activities?

Outside of being a normal Belmont student, I am a lacrosse coach for a local middle school. Also, comedy has always been a passion of mine, so you might catch me at an open mic!

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?

T A C O B E L L

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I have two dreams: I really want to become a business manager for entertainers, or become a professional comedian.

Favorite musicians, artists, genres, equipment, shows you’ve been to...tell us anything you love about music.

Favorite Artists/Bands (currently): - The Kid Laroi - Machine Gun Kelly - blink-182 - Silk Sonic - Post Malone Favorite Musicians: - Kurt Cobain - Tom DeLonge - Miley Cyrus - Travis Barker - Mark Hoppus Favorite Shows: - Travis Scott's Astroworld Tour - The Beach Boys - MGK's Tickets To My Downfall Tour (I haven't gone yet but I know it'll be one of my favs) - Kendrick Lamar - blink-182

What is your favorite part about Nashville?

I love the vibe here. "Music City" is the perfect name for Nashville because it is not simply country music anymore like it used to be. It is all kinds of musical genres here! I also love how the city loves their professional sports teams, as well as have one of the biggest comedy clubs in the nation.

Why did you choose to intern here? 

I have heard great things about Olivia Management, and I felt very at-home and at-ease when I had conversations with the team members.

What would you like to get out of this internship?

I want to learn more about the duties and activities that go along with management in the entertainment industry, as well as make long-lasting friendships and business relationships.

IMG_6954.jpeg

Cali Weddle

What do you love to do? Hobbies? Activities?

My biggest passion is songwriting and making music. I play guitar and piano and love to sing! I also played college basketball and love anything active! But I’m at my happiest when I’m on a boat somewhere in the middle of the lake :)

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?

Hot Krispy Kreme donuts!

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be some sort of mix of a manager / creative collaborator / songwriter where I get to work with artists on every aspect of their craft.

Favorite musicians, artists, genres, equipment, shows you’ve been to...tell us anything you love about music.

Some of my favorite artists are Old Dominion, Julia Michaels, Tyler Childers, and Jon Pardi, but NOTHING compares to a live Taylor Swift show! My all time favorite!!

What is your favorite part about Nashville?

I love being in a city full of so many driven, creative people who are working hard to get where they want to be.

Why did you choose to intern here? 

I loved the idea of learning the industry from smart, powerful women and being in a space where I was encouraged to ask questions and grow as an individual.

What would you like to get out of this internship?

I hope to get a better understanding of the behind the scenes of the music industry, as well as make connections to help me pursue my future career as an artist manager or songwriter.

Our Returning Superstars: Madison Moll & Kylie Rose

We’re so excited to have Madison Moll and Kylie Rose returning to intern with us this summer. They’re so hardworking, intelligent, welcoming, and kind. Olivia Management is beyond lucky to have two amazing women working alongside us. Cheers, ladies!

Intern Wrap-Up Blogs: Madison Moll

by Madison Moll

As a rising senior who’s had some prior internship experience, I never imagined starting my first day at Olivia Management would launch me into a stage of such immense self-growth and discovery of all of the buried skills I already had and new skills I was able to learn from my time here. This internship truly is like none other.

Already from my first day, I knew Olivia Management was a safe and nurturing environment for students and young music industry professionals. I instantly felt welcomed and invited to become a part of the team, that I was a valued asset to the company and the other interns and employees and Erin. They all put so much trust in me to get challenging and impactful tasks done without batting an eye.

The most valuable skill or takeaway that I’ve learned from my time at Olivia is that extending just a little bit of trust goes such a long way. I have been lucky to have the opportunity to attempt and have my hand in some really cool projects that other companies wouldn’t even consider putting into the hands of their interns. Erin believes in all of us and that we are capable of achieving any task she throws our way!

I’m so thankful for the opportunity to intern at Olivia Management alongside some amazing and talented interns and I’m so excited to be coming back for the summer!

Devin Wrap-Up Blog

By Devin Renspie

As I’m writing this, I’m finishing up my final day of interning with Olivia Management for my second semester. Throughout my time here, I learned a lot about all the hard work that goes into artist management. The sliver of information on this profession that I had previously obtained through the classes I’ve taken merely scratches the surface of how broad and fluid of a career it is.

Because of the expansive nature of the profession and in turn this internship, I’m struggling to adequately summarize my time here, but my favorite part would have to be how different each day was. No one day or task is the same at OM, which kept things interesting and left me feeling like I learned something, if not multiple things, new everyday. I am particularly grateful to have been able to gain experience in graphic design, copywriting, and social media management. That being said, I am appreciative of all that I have learned here and believe that it will be transferrable to virtually wherever I end up in my own career, though I am hoping to stay within the realm of artist management.

Of course, this internship would not be nearly as great if it wasn’t for the wonderful team here. You can tell that Erin, Maggie, and Mackenzie all truly enjoy and believe in the work they do and want to help their interns gain real, beneficial experience in any way they can. The culture of positivity and excellence that they work hard to cultivate is evident in everything they do.

Each Monday, the company meeting begins with everyone affirming one another for the excellence they exhibited during the previous week and ends with an always-unique pep talk (usually by Mackenzie) about how we’ll each strive for excellence in the coming week. Even though I interned remotely, these meetings made me feel connected and like I was still part of the team.

All in all, my experience interning at Olivia Management was a great one that allowed me to learn skills and build relationships with my team that will stick with me long after my time here comes to an end.

Intern Wrap-Up Blogs: Cynthia Birkett

by Cynthia Birkett

Olivia Management was one of the best internships I have ever had. The amount of knowledge that I have learn in my two semesters of interning at Olivia Management is incredible. My journey at Olivia Management started in the Fall of 2020, and they instantly became like family. Erin puts so much trust in her interns and really motivates us all to do our best. I couldn’t imagine a better place to intern!

My favorite part about this company was starting Mondays with affirmations from the team. You don’t realize how much that helps the morale, it gives us encouragement to keeping going and to keep doing our best. I learned so much interning at Olivia Management from how to submit songs to PROs and Sound Exchange to learning more about making graphics for our artists shows and social medias as well as everything in between! Interning at Olivia Management has definitely confirmed that artist management is what I want to do.

Intern Wrap-Up Blogs: Kylie Rose

By Kylie Rose

I have never felt more cherished and challenged than when I’m with the family that has been built within Olivia Management. As a current sophomore, this has been my first industry internship, and can’t imagine anywhere better suited to help find my spark in the music industry. Each day has brought constant growth, and I can’t wait for even more lessons learned as I return this summer!

Artist management has always been something I was interested in but never had the skills or direction to effectively understand. At Olivia Management, you learn how to market an artist on various social platforms, organize merchandise shipment, have hard (but necessary) conversations, and use empathy to benefit those around you. You gain hands-on experience through meeting our artists, sitting in on important meetings, attending photoshoots, etc. Without the amount of trust that Olivia places in its interns, I wouldn’t have been able to take these vital lessons and successfully apply them to my classes and my own individual management projects.

My favorite moments have been Thursday chats with Erin, sending “gotd” (gif-of-the-day) check-ins to Maggie, and fun morning messages with Mackenzie. I am so thankful to be able to come back to the office this summer and hope to gain even more knowledge and memories!
