• An Indie band with a unique sound drifting between Pop and Rock
• A transatlantic collaboration between Olivia Bennett and John Willoughby
• Not an actual person but an idea inspired by life on the seacoast
• A composite of Demelza (an old Cornish name) and blue (inspired by the ocean)

Olivia Bennett

Olivia is an accomplished vocalist with a love of rich, layered harmonies and expressive performance. She got her professional start in the greater London area as a studio session vocalist while also performing with her band “Livi In The Middle”, a local live favorite and successful Twitch Podcaster for several years.

In addition to her work with Demelza Blue, Olivia is a highly sought-after international session vocalist noted for blending soulful power with intricate vocal textures to create a distinctive and heartfelt sound. Clients have described her as having an “Absolutely beautiful voice, coupled with passion and professionalism that shines through” and said that she “elevates every song she touches”.

Olivia lives on the coast of historic Cornwall, England.

John Willoughby

John is a multi-instrumentalist who writes and records in a variety of genres. He has played guitar, bass, and drums in bands ranging from punk to country. In addition to his experience as a musician, John studied music production at the Berklee School of Music and while he is primarily a guitarist, he regards the studio as his real "instrument".

After playing in other bands over the years, in 2020 during the pandemic lock-down he decided to start exclusively writing and recording music under his own name. It was during one of these projects that he ran into Olivia whose vocal stylings provided the perfect addition to his musical visions. And so Demelza Blue was born.

John Lives on the coast of New Hampshire, USA, and often waves "hello" to Olivia who is just on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, only a few thousand miles away.
