Olivia Charlotte Waithe (born 31 May 1988), better known by her stage name Livvi Franc, is a British Barbadian singer-songwriter.
Early life
Franc was born in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, to an English mother and a Bajan father. Franc's stage name was inspired by her late maternal grandfather, Frank Wilson, who told Flavour Magazine that he had "noticed" me playing the piano and assumed I was going to be a singer. He is, unfortunately, no longer here. So, I called myself Livvi Franc; Livvi because it's my name; Franc because it's a funkier version of Frank," I said. The family immigrated to Barbados when Franc was five years old because her parents decided that their children, Franc and her elder sister, should experience their Barbadian roots. During the summer holidays, they will return to England. Franc wrote her first song at the age of 11, learned the guitar at fifteen, and performed in school talent shows and pageants.
Career
When a friend of Franc's who babysit for her gave her one of Franc's cassette tape demos, Franc's first manager discovered her. Franc went on to record proper demos in a studio in Barbados and Miami, where she met her new boss. She was in New York shortly after, speaking with label executives and auditioning. After months of negotiations, she eventually signed with Jive Records after performing an Etta James song for them. Franc had gone through three years of artist growth and attended workshops on it before deciding to join Jive. She had attended Queens College in Barbados. "Walking On Snow" by Livvi Franc, Franc has also written for Cheryl Cole, Kelly Clarkson, Marié Digby, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Rihanna, and Cher Lloyd.
"Now I'm That Bitch," Franc's debut single, was unveiled in the summer of 2009. The song debuted on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart and became a top 40 hit in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. On the revival of Melrose Place, there is another track named "This Is a Raid." Franc released "Automatik," her second single. The single, produced by RedOne, debuted at number six on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart. Livvi left Jive Records after Jive's death, but she's now signed to Beluga Heights/Warner Bros., where she is currently finishing her debut album. Franc said she would stop writing for other acts in a Ustream session.
