BBC Music Introducing Artist of the Year 2023, Olivia Dean, performs live for Radio 2's Piano Room accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Inspired by the likes of Carole King, Amy Winehouse and The Supremes, Olivia has come a long way since she joined Rudimental as a backing vocalist in 2017. 2 years later she secured her first solo contract with EMI which led to the 2023 release of Messy, her Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut album.

Her Piano Room set features 2 of her own compositions, Dive and Dangerously Easy, performed alongside a stunning take on Leonard Cohen's Suzanne.
