Who is Olivia Theresa Longott ?

Olivia Theresa Longott the music world knows her professionally as Olivia, she is an American R&B singer.

Olivia Longott was born on February 15, 1981. Her mother is Jamaican/Native American and her father is Cuban.[1]

In 2000, she became the first artist signed to Clive Davis' J Records. Her self-titled debut album Olivia was released in 2001 and featured the singles "Bizounce" which made #15 on the charts, and "R U Capable". The album debuted at number fifty-five and was RIAA certified Gold in November 2002. At the time of the album's certification, Olivia had already been released from J Records, signing to Interscope Records.

In 2004, Olivia re-emerged as the first woman signed to G-Unit Records. She contributed vocals to the trio's debut album Beg for Mercy and to 50 Cent's The Massacre, including the album's number-one single "Candy Shop".

Her first solo single released via G-Unit Records was "Twist It", featuring fellow G-Unit member Lloyd Banks, followed up by "So Sexy" in summer 2005. Both songs failed to debut on the charts due to little promotion. Olivia briefly attended Hofstra University in New York and planned her second album, Behind Closed Doors, which was slated for a 2007 release on Interscope and G-Unit Records. Around the same time, Olivia contributed vocals to Shaggy's single "Wild 2Nite" which debuted at number 85 on the US charts and 65 on the UK charts.

Olivia released her single, "Best Friend", featuring 50 Cent in 2006.


Since departure from G-unit Olivia has been training with an acting coach and has auditioned and been searching for movie roles. She has stated that music comes first but acting is definitely something she's doing.[2] Olivia's first acting role is Lisa in a upcoming film by Director Shawn Baker titled Conspiracy X along side Kellita Smith and Al Thompson (actor).
