A singer, bassist, songwriter and producer who creates her own artwork, costumes and music videos &#8211; a postpunk-diva working her bass guitar like a weapon. Influenced by art pop giants like Talking Heads and Kate Bush,&nbsp;Livki&nbsp;shares their no limits attitude towards musical fusion; indie pop, electronic hip-hop, kuduro, orchestral pop and raw blues with the unity of voice and bass at the core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The newest single, <em>Spectacular<\/em> is a nasty postpunk-electronic infected beast, telling the story of a scandalous female influencer. A satirical gaze at the web era, Spectacular reflects on narcissism, capitalism and the ambivalence of female power and sexuality in digital capitalism channeling Guy Debord\u2019s Age of the Spectacle and Jia Tolentino\u2019s Trick Mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video is an extreme, pink hallucination with a short span of attention, both funny and gruesome. Olivia Anna\u00a0Livki\u00a0takes the roles of sculptures in a gallery of oversized, badly photoshopped body parts, smartphone queens and extreme language.

Growing up in the countryside of South Germany with few opportunities she taught her self-reliance and how not to give up. She began making films at age 10 and writing songs at 16, releasing two albums in 2011 and 2015. Now based in Berlin, she\u2019s earned her a passionate fanbase and caused a buzz on social media with videos such as\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9uiAooL6bqU\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Hologram<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AICIXiUfAvQ\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Abby Abby<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bFscV6Wa1_o\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Blood Ponies<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Digital Dissidents\u2019 is about freedom, power and the revolutionary way the internet has impacted our relation to them, both in terrifying and empowering ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Livki&nbsp;tells the stories of female influencers with extreme bodies (Spectacular), of trolls who fuel political crises (#Collapse, Information War), of existential fears in the age of climate change, terrorism and neo-authoritarian, misogynistic fury (Wave in Rage, Solaris, Black) but mostly of the determination to \u2018take the lead\u2019 in the face of those fears (We Are Carthago, Resist). Some of her stories are pure satire, others are based on deeply personal experiences of struggle, abuse and hope, seen in the bigger picture (Reconciliation). In DIY Cinderella,&nbsp;Livki&nbsp;cheekily refers to her own journey as a female artist, ironically reflecting on gender-roles and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Digital Dissidents\u2018 consists of radical contrasts:\u00a0Livki\u00a0mixes up pop-anthems, dance-punk and dark voice\u2019n\u2019bass. Her lyrics go from black humour and ironic postmodernism, paying homage to Ghost in The Shell, John Oliver or Jaron Lanier, to fragile, melancholic and dystopian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Digital Dissidents\u2018 is Olivia Anna\u00a0Livki\u2019s first release in the UK\/US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about LivKi, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaannalivki.com\/\">oliviaannalivki.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Olivia Anna&nbsp;Livki&nbsp;(aka&nbsp;LiVKI) is a DIY-force of nature.
