Olivia Lane Named “One To Watch In 2022” By SiriusXM The Message, Celebrates Two Singles At Radio, Prepares For April Wedding
Momentum continues to build for faith-driven artist and social media influencer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 2, 2022) — Singer/songwriter. TikTok sensation. Entrepreneur. Podcaster. Already celebrated as an inspired businesswoman and prolific artist, Olivia Lane reaches a new milestone with “I Believe It Now,” her duet with the chart-topping Christian band Sidewalk Prophets.
Originally released on Sidewalk Prophets’ The Things That Got Us Here in 2020, “I Believe It Now” immediately resonated with Lane, who saw her personal journey of finding Christ reflected in the song’s lyrics. Known for documenting her own transformation from a non-believer to a faithful follower — or, as she calls it, “from atheist to amen” — during a popular string of viral TikTok posts, Olivia Lane began sharing the song and soon found herself joining Sidewalk Prophets in the recording studio, adding passion and poignancy to a re-recorded version of “I Believe It Now.” The collaboration was released on February 18, accompanied by a cinematic music video that earned more than 20,000 views during its first three days. Watch the moving clip here.
“A star in the making,” says Dave Frey, lead singer and founder of Sidewalk Prophets. “She’s already a star in our hearts but I’m telling you, you’re going to hear more and more of Olivia.”
“I Believe It Now” marks the second faith-driven hit by Olivia Lane, who released “Woman at the Well” — a single inspired not only by her turn to God, but also her longtime roots in modern country music — in 2021. The song quickly found a home on The Message, SiriusXM’s contemporary Christian station, and has been accumulating spins ever since. Program Director Al Skop remains “one of Lane’s most dedicated champions.”
A recent guest on Matthew West’s podcast, West (2021’s ASCAP Christian Songwriter of the Year) noted of Lane, “You’ve shared your story and it’s a powerful one. And this song [‘Woman At The Well’] is a powerful one.”
For Lane, being named “One to Watch in 2022” by The Message marks the latest peak in a highlight-filled year that will also include her upcoming wedding. “This season has been all about learning to let God fully take the reins of my life and I feel so blessed to be a vessel for Him on The Message, in the writing room, on social media AND as a soon to be wife,” says the songwriter, who continues to chase down success on her own terms.

About Olivia Lane:
Most people know Olivia Lane from her appearance on NBC’s “Songland,” from her natural comedic timing on TikTok, or from the highly lauded entrepreneurial spirit that led to the launch of her own publishing venture Liv Write Play Music. A Houston native, Lane spent time in Los Angeles and graduated from the University of Southern California before settling in Nashville in 2013. Her sweet, soulful voice and insightful songwriting helped Lane earn an enthusiastic following and she continues to grow her audience exponentially on her socials. After years of writing, recording and performing, Lane’s path took a dark turn in 2017 when the anxiety and stress she’d put herself through had taken its toll. “I literally lost my voice. I knew music was my calling, but somehow I’d lost myself. I had to go on a journey to remember who I was,” she says. “What I’ve learned is that it takes some dark moments to find the light again.” Songs like “Woman At The Well” showcase her forging a path of allowing God to take the reins of her career. At her essence Lane is a singer/songwriter/entertainer and she’s excited for her audience to experience the songs on Heart Change, out September 2021.
