Olivia Valentine – founded by seasoned artists Phil Korosec and Geoff Hrabar – has emerged as a musical force, with a sound that is driven by layered guitars, vintage synths, and accessible vocal melodies.

Korosec and Hrabar founded Olivia Valentine as a duo in 2017, primarily as a recording project. But as the project began to come alive, they decided to expand their lineup, which now includes Thomas Dietzel (guitar, backing vocals, keys, trombone, percussion), and Larissa Dietzel (bass). Olivia Valentine’s sound gives a tip of the hat to the Baroque-pop world (think Broken Social Scene), and is heavily influenced by bands like Radiohead, Pink Floyd, and Sonic Youth.

In 2023, Olivia Valentine released their debut album, Reverberations, which elegantly showcases the band’s refreshing blend of Indie-Rock and Pop. Reverberations features Greg Wiz on drums. Wiz is known for his work with Norah Jones, The Autumn Defense, and Valerie June.

Olivia Valentine’s latest release, The Couch Cushion EP, was released in the fall of set 2025.
