Chiara Oliver Williams (born 11 March 2004) is a Spanish singer who became known for participating in the twelfth edition of the Operación Triunfo contest in which she finished in 8th place.

Early life

[edit]

Oliver, who is of Menorcan descent on her father's side and English on her mother's side, showed an interest in music from her early years. She began her musical training at the Municipal School of Music of Ciutadella and later at the Menorca Conservatory.[1] Her first contact with a stage was at the age of 6, when she participated as a candidate in a talent contest organized by a hotel.[2]

Career

[edit]

Oliver has participated in various talent contests. She reached the final of Got Talent España in 2019, participated in La Voz in 2022 as part of Laura Pausini's team, and in 2023 she took part in the twelfth edition of the Operación Triunfo.[3][4] In addition, she has performed concerts in several towns in Menorca, including Mahón,[5] Sant Lluís,[6] Ciutadella de Menorca,[7] Es Mercadal[8] and Ferreries.[9] In the summer of 2023, she performed in the performance of the Menorcan musical Los Piratas, as part of the Piedra Viva festival.[10]

On International Women's Day 2021, Oliver was one of the twenty Balearic women responsible for setting music to music and adapting the poem Ocho de marzo by Gioconda Belli to Catalan, under the title "Vuit de març és cada dia". This project included a video clip produced by the STEI Intersindical, in which she collaborated with prominent artists such as Miquela Lladó, Clara Fiol, Pilar Reiona and Marta Elka.[11]

In June 2024, her second single entitled 3 de febrero was released under the Universal Music Spain record label.[12]

Musical style

[edit]

When it comes to her musical skills, Oliver shows versatility by mastering composition and playing various instruments, including guitar, piano and bass.[13] In addition, she finds inspiration in artists such as American singer Olivia Rodrigo.[14]

Personal life

[edit]

Oliver resides in Barcelona and is studying modern singing at the Catalonia College of Music.[15]

Oliver is openly lesbian, an aspect of her identity that she spoke about naturally during her participation in Operación Triunfo 2023. In a recent interview, she expressed her appreciation for the diversity that characterizes the contest and is glad that younger generations see it as something natural.[16][17] She also lives with ADHD, during her time on Operación Triunfo, both she and Lucas Curotto shared their experiences on how this disorder affects their daily lives. Since leaving the show, she has received numerous thanks for providing visibility to this condition and contributing to raising awareness in society about it.[18][17]
