About the Artist
Like a glowing sunset on a warm summer’s day, the brand new single Fault Line from Australian indie folk-pop songstress Olivia Coggan radiates with lush arrangements and dreamy melodies. Also armed with a powerful personal narrative, Fault Line follows on from Olivia’s previous 2026 singles lend me your heart and bulletproof.
Raw, heartfelt and dazzling with authenticity, Fault Line finds Olivia nodding to the likes of Maggie Rogers, Hazlett, The Japanese House, Del Water Gap, Jeremy Zucker and Gracie Abrams, with a serene merging of indie-folk and pop charmed further by Olivia’s evocative vocals. Produced by Tim Goodburn and mastered by Paul Blakey, Fault Line ultimately channels Olivia’s own experiences into her stunning new creation, as she elaborates, “The song was inspired by my own experience of navigating change over the past year and learning to trust my instinct to follow what feels right, even when it’s scary. Fault Line is really about that pull towards the unknown — standing on the edge of something bigger and hearing a quiet inner voice that keeps guiding you forward, even when you can’t see exactly where it’s leading. It sits in that space between excitement and fear, in that moment before change where everything feels uncertain but full of possibility at the same time.”
Introduced to music from a very young age, Olivia’s innate knack for winsome indie earworms with a touch of folk and coastal hues stems back to her upbringing, reflecting her early life growing up in the Illawarra region in New South Wales as well as spending much of her childhood in dressing rooms of theatres and falling asleep behind the merch desk at her father’s shows, the award-winning Australian musician and actor Darren Coggan. Harbouring a love for music and singing for most of her life, her passion for songwriting sparked while in high school. From there, Olivia’s creative journey saw her accepted into a talent development project before leaving high school and being taken under the wing of Kasey Chambers; and the rest truly was history, with the support and guidance of her father Darren, and also an ongoing creative collaboration with her brother Gabe whose visuals feature across Olivia’s entire catalogue.
With her earliest influences spanning Cat Stevens through to James Taylor, Missy Higgins, Kasey Chambers and John Mayer, Olivia has gone on to tour with some of her own musical heroes, including Missy Higgins, Boy & Bear, The Dreggs and Kim Churchill, while also performing at festivals with the likes of Sons of the East, Pacific Avenue and Matt Corby.
