Olga Román is a Spanish singer songwriter who has three solo cds: Vueltas y Vueltas, (2001), Olga Román 2, (2005), and Seguir Caminando (2011). 

Olga lived in Boston (Massachusetts) from 1985 to 1993. She graduated in 1987 from Berklee College of Music, summa cum laude. In 1988 she put together the Olga Roman Quartet with pianist Alain Mallet, bassist Lionel Girardeau and drummer Ben Wittman, playing a brazilian-jazz repertoire and performing in the New England area and several jazz festivals such as the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Quebec Jazz Festival, the Boston Globe Jazz Festival to name a few. They also performed at many life radio shows at WGBH, WERS, etc… and local tv programs. In 1992 she was nominated as best jazz vocalis to the Boston Music Awards and she recorded a tv special for PBS, with Danilo Pérez as special guest, for the program "La Plaza" which keeps being aired in PBS.

Back in Spain she started working in 1994 with famous singer song writer Joaquin Sabina, recording on his cds and touring Spain and Latin America.

In 2001 she released her first solo album Vueltas y vueltas (Around and Around), a very intimate collection of personal songs written by herself with a pop-brazilian-jazzy flavor, produced by Patrick Goraguer and Lucio Godoy. It includes a song in English, Again, that was nominated in 2002 to the Goya Spanish Film Awards, as best original song. It was the main theme in Miguel Albaladejo's movie El Cielo Abierto (Open Sky).

Olga Román 2 is her second cd where we can find a more mature singer and composer. Produced by herself and Dario Eskenazi , and a couple of songs produced by herself with Alain Mallet, Olga Román 2 is a very appealing cd. It was recorded between Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Madrid. There are two very special guests: Uruguayan Oscar winner Jorge Drexler, and Spanish singer Carmen Paris.

Her brand new cd Seguir Caminando (Keep Walking), produced by Olga and Luis Fernández, recorded in Madrid, has two big names as special guests: Joaquín Sabina, and Cuban star, Pablo Milanés. It includes a new song in English, Wake Up.

All the three cds are available through iTunes and in Amazone.com. You can listen to all the songs in this web site, in the section CANCIONES, and in Spotify.
