Olivia Underwood is a composer and pianist of mixed British and Japanese heritage based in the UK. She began playing the piano when she was five years old and studied firstly as a classical pianist at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, Austria. She was awarded both a BA and MA whilst there, specialising in improvisation (jazz and free style) as well as classical music. 

​

Her love for film and narrative led her to pursue a path within composition, and in 2022 she was offered a place at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. She is currently studying there within the Electronic and Produced Music department. Her music, while strongly influenced by her classical background, covers a wide spectrum of genres and is driven by her focus on storytelling.
