Olive Yaah is the alter ego of German musician and visual artist Olivia Wendlandt.
Formerly the frontwoman of Relaén, Olive supports her tender, vulnerable voice with soulful keyboards and SP404. The music explores themes of love, consumerism, philosophy and Vaporwave.
After releasing several records, touring Germany and parts of Europe, and supporting acts like Roy Ayers, Noname, Macy Gray, Makaya McCraven, Ed Motta and Azymuth with her band in Germany, she moved to Melbourne/Naarm in order to immerse in the vibrant local music scene and grow as an artist.
