Olivia Farley
Olivia was born and raised in Minnesota, USA. Growing up, she always felt the need to express what was inside of her head, though not through the conventional way of words, but through writing and music. Olivia started out as a storywriter but as she grew into her teen years, she found songwriting to be something she quite enjoyed. She has now cultivated a passion for the entire creative process - starting with producing and finishing with marketing and promoting the art.
Olivia loves to explore and wants to try as many things as she can in life. This attitude stems from her childhood. She played basketball, softball, and tennis. She took horse riding lessons and spent many Wednesday nights at the stable. She got dressed up and went to plays with her mother. Whenever she visited family in South Dakota, she spent the weekends at the race track watching drivers zoom around the course. Olivia is a blend of multiple cultures and communities that thrive in the midwest. This is best shown through the music she was exposed to as a kid, which was also as broad as the activities she participated in. Motown, Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, and Country were all frequently heard in her house. This is why Olivia created her brand - Black Ink Rising. We are explorers from every part of society - from the country and the inner city, from glamorous lifestyles to simple lifestyles, and from happy homes to troubled upbringings. Olivia, her brand, and anyone associated with her brand are ones that want to make the most of this life.

Watchword |
“My past contains many memories of suffocating happiness and pain, blinding excitement and disappointment, and intoxicating love and anger. But I will use the past to build my future. For I am determined, dedicated, and devastatingly invested in what is to come. I pray that I have all that I need and obtain all that I want.” - Olivia
