Olivia Dean's rise to prominence began in 2021 when she was named Amazon Music's breakthrough artist of the year. This momentum continued into 2023 when she was selected as BBC Music Introducing Artist of the Year.

Dean maintained her high-profile presence in the music industry by performing at the Glastonbury Festival in 2024.

During the same year, she also released her second album, "The Art of Loving", which further solidified her position in the industry. This album formed the basis for her "The Art of Loving Live" concert tour.

Beyond her music, Dean has been a brand ambassador for Chanel and was announced as the face of Burberry Her fragrance in January 2026. Her work has been recognized with several nominations at the Brit Awards and UK Music Video Awards, and a win at the latter for "Nice to Each Other" in the Best Pop/R&B/Soul/Jazz Video - Newcomer category in 2025.
