16-Year Old B.C. Musician Olivia Penalva Reaches For New Heights

So happy to catch up with 16-year old BC musician, Olivia Penalva.

The young singer-songwriter from Vernon, BC visited the Ocean studios in Victoria a couple years ago when she had released a holiday song, Christmas For Two. She was only 14.

Now that Olivia has an EP and a new song, Skyline on the Canadian charts we’re playing on Ocean 98.5, I wanted to check in.

Olivia called me during a spare from her Okanagan high school:

We talked about how she balances high school and her music career — and about winning a songwriting contest with Colbie Caillat.
