LIVVI FRANC 是一名RNB,SOUL,POP 歌手,签约于JIVE 唱片公司。她首张专辑出品包括Redone(sugababes,lady gaga的制作人),JR Rotem(Rihanna,Leona Lewis的制作人),Greg Kurstin(Lily Allen,Kylie Minogue的制作人)等等。 LIVVI的脸上综合了RIHANNA BEYONCE CIARA 的容貌 仿佛将这几个人最美的轮廓统统融合了进去。这也是她被大家喜欢的原因之一。 LIVVI和著名歌手RIHANNA一样,来自美丽的巴巴多斯岛。加上独特的海滨脸,让很多人给她冠上了小RIHANNA的称号,不过她本人并不喜欢大家这么叫她,她觉得自己有独特的风格,而不是单一的在模仿或借鉴一位前辈。 LIVVI人生的第一个5年是和英国母亲,巴巴多斯籍父亲还有姐姐在HARROGATE渡过的。5岁时,全家搬去了巴巴多斯岛,父母亲认为他们的女儿应该继承巴巴多斯人的传统,LIVVI的曾外祖父,FRANK WILSON,给了她起艺名的灵感。 “当我大概2岁时,我的祖父注意到我弹钢琴时候的坐姿,我用我自己的方式来弹曲子,他预言我将来会成为一名音乐家。可惜的是他已经不在了。所以,为了纪念他,我给自己取名为LIVVI FRANC,LIVVI是我的外号,FRANC是FRANK的一种更加另类的写法。”

Hailing from Barbados, though she spent the first several years of her life in North Yorkshire, England, Livvi Franc (born Olivia Charlotte Waithe) signed to the Jive label in 2007 and was paired with a diverse set of collaborators who included Salaam Remi (Nas, Amy Winehouse), RedOne (Lady GaGa), and J.R. Rotem (Natasha Bedingfield, Rick Ross). Franc's debut single, the playfully assertive "Now I'm That Bitch" (featuring Pitbull), debuted during spring 2009 on the Billboard club chart. Her first album was scheduled for release later that year.
