Olivia's worlds of acting, singing and songwriting meet when she performs two original songs she wrote, as well as HSM classics, on the series. "Honest storytelling is my ultimate goal." A select cross section of her influences include artists as diverse as Fiona Apple, Jack White, PJ Harvey, and Phoebe Bridgers. "My favorite songs are brutally honest and give a vivid look into the artist's life and mind," she says.
She seeks authenticity and bold expression in her music. Olivia exudes an intriguing paradox of being both exuberantly youthful and, sagely, an old soul. "Acting and music relate in that they are both about capturing feelings and moments as accurately as you can," she shares. Singing since she was 4, Olivia took up acting based on a recommendation from her vocal coach. Acting has been something of a newish development for her.

Olivia is the star of Disney's High School Musical series streaming now on Disney+. Her keen sense for conveying feeling has served her well, thus far. Her mother had is German, English, Irish, and some Austrian ancestry. Her father had Filipino, as well as Chinese ancestry. "I think I'm good at knowing how people feel, how I feel, and being able to capture that," the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter-actor shares. Peace and love to all.Olivia Rodrigo is a soulful artist with a rare gift for emotive and empathetic songwriting. I wish Sam all the best for his ongoing career.
In these times we live in this is hardly news. Sam did the right thing and I have thought no more about this. “How it got out to the press is beyond Sam or myself. And no more was to be said about it,” Petty continued. “The word lawsuit was never even said and was never my intention. Sam’s people were very understanding of our predicament and we easily came to an agreement. Most times you catch it before it gets out the studio door but in this case it got by. All my years of songwriting have shown me these things can happen. Two high-profile situations that were settled out of court include Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ 2014 hit “Uptown Funk” (which has quietly added writers twice) and Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me,” the writers of which in 2015 made an undisclosed settlement with Tom Petty over their song’s similarity to his 1989 hit “I Won’t Back Down.” Petty and cowriter Jeff Lynne’s names were added to Smith’s song’s credits and royalties, even though the writers claimed not to be previously familiar with the earlier tune.Īfter news of the addition became public, Petty wrote in a statement, “Let me say I have never had any hard feelings toward Sam. Such cases can get extremely complicated, unpredictable and, not least, expensive when they go before a jury of ordinary people who are not music experts, as evidenced by the back-and-forth with recent lawsuits involving Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse,” Robin Thicke and Pharrell’s “Blurred Lines” and even Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven.” Reps for Swift and Rodrigo did not immediately respond to Variety’s requests for comment, but what seems likely is that the matter was settled quietly behind the scenes, as is often the situation with potential copyright-infringement cases.
