The K in OLIVIA K, Khe-ra, means "Daughter of the Sun," which perfectly describes her music, her joyous outlook on life and fiery disposition.

As the DIY Funk Queen of East New York, she has led her band Olivia K and the Parkers in a sold-out show at Joe's Pub, joined the 2022 Joe's Pub Working Artist Group, and played BRIC's iconic Celebrate Brooklyn, Brooklyn Museum, and Lincoln Center.
