Olivia Rox (born Olivia Isabella Hannah Hill; January 16, 1999) is an American pop singer, songwriter, and actress that made her break after becoming a top finalist in season 15 of the American Idol[1].
Early life[edit]
Olivia was born in Boulder, CO but now resides in Agoura Hills, CA[2] She is the daughter of the Jazz saxophonist legend Warren Hill and singer-turned-producer/director Tamara Van-Cleef. Her exposure to performing and singing on stage started as early as the age of 2 when she joined her father onstage to sing and perform "Someday My Prince Will Come" from the movie Snow White at the Chicago Theatre[3] and even wrote a original song by the age of 4 [4]. Olivia Rox graduated at the age of 16 in order to pursue a career in music.

At the age of 8, Rox created and starred in her own critically acclaimed featured film, [5], to which she also wrote the soundtrack [6].
Afterwards, Olivia started posting covers and even original material on YouTube and got to audition season 8 of America's Got Talent [7][8]. She moved past the Vegas round but was ultimately one of the eliminated acts in that round [3]
In 2012 she moved from music to the big screen with her starring in a Sci-Fi short film [9][10]. By 15, she got the attention of Warner Brothers Records and signed a record deal that allowed her make an album written entirely by herself but after the company went under a rebuild, the contract fell through and ended [10].
