Olivia Rose Olson (born May 21, 1992) is an American actress and musician. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her father is Phineas and Ferb writer and songwriter Martin Olson. She has appeared as a singer and actress on many television shows and has performed live in many Hollywood theaters, including The Comedy Central Stage, The HBO Theater and The Fake Gallery.
She was a semi-regular cast member of Phineas and Ferb and voiced Vanessa, the sarcastic daughter of Dr. Doofenshmirtz. She also sang many songs, and provided the guide track vocals for Candace's songs. Beginning with the fifth season, she is also a writer for the series.
She has written songs for Phineas and Ferb, has written and recorded her songs with renowned music producers Rick Nowels, Camara Kambon and Hollywood jazz great Rob Mullins, and for fun performs many of her original songs in YouTube videos: Sunny, Loving You And Me, Your Friend, Suspicious, and Sick N Tired.
Olson has also appeared on The Tracy Morgan Show and was guest star on The Ellen DeGeneres Show singing with Ellen and actor Jack Black.
At age ten, Olivia appeared in the British film Love Actually with fellow Phineas and Ferb voice actor Thomas Sangster, singing the song "All I Want for Christmas is You". According to director Richard Curtis' commentary in the Love Actually DVD, Olivia's singing was so perfect, they were afraid the audience would not believe that a ten-year-old could really sing the way she did. They had to train her so that her singing would sound more believable.
Olivia also voiced the popular character Marceline the Vampire Queen in the cartoon Adventure Time.
