Vivien Searcy started singing as a little girl and soon she was appearing with different cover-bands, in choirs and in various musical events. She quickly found her home on stage, always comfortable and self confident under the spotlight. As her father says" She's a true Elvis on stage!"

Summer 1995 Vivien decides to study music in the beautiful town of Stockholm, Sweden. She starts working with different songwriters, musicians and artist, improving her musical skills.

Winter 1999 Vivien will find her way back home to Country music. She finds it natural to compose her songs with a country spirit, since she´s brought up with the records of Emmy lou Harris, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt

January 2001 she wins the S.A.M.I award for songwriters and gets recording time at S.A.M.I.'s studios in Stockholm.

May 2002 Vivien auditions for the famous Swedish Country Band The Western Satellites and meets her future music-producer, sound-engineer Patricia Viguurs. Patricia directly spots Vivien's talent and starts working on Vivien's career as a Country Artist.

September 2002 A few months pass and they manage to gather some of the best country musicians in Sweden to back up Vivien.
The original songs are composed by different songwriters like Cecilia Brändström, her sister Caroline Bränngård, Vivien Searcy, Andreas Rydman and Patricia Viguurs.

October 2002 After Vivien's and the Ozarks debut concert, they instantly got booked for Sweden’s biggest annual Country event, Lida Country Festival.
Shortly after a Dutch booking company invites Vivien and her band to tour Holland.

Vivien sang her song "Guitar Man" and won over many acts from all over Sweden. The jury consisted of Bert Karlsson (Fame Factory & Mariann Records), Annika Ljungberg (Rednex), Andres Estache and all the people at the shopping center. Vivien was praised for her fantastic voice and singing capability, her scene appearance and genuine star quality.

During Summer 2003 Vivien Searcy and The Ozarks will appear at different events in Stockholm.
Such as Restaurangernas Dag, an outdoors event with an audience of c.a 6000 people, smaller venues and at Sweden’s biggest annual Country event, Lida Country Festival, where the line dancers couldn't stand still.
In July 2003 the band will take  a trip to Norway to attend a festival in Femund. Vivien Searcy and her band have a successful evening and leave quite an impression on their norwegian audience. A local paper called HA (Hamar-Arbeiderblad) gives Vivien Searcy and The Ozarks their review:

"Helgas store navn var Vivien Searcy and The Ozarks. De viste seg å vaere et knallbra band med storeambisjoner. Vivien Searcy var full av utstrålning og med en herlig stemme. Bandet satt som et revolverskudd.."
(Trans.:)
 "This weekends big namn was Vivien Searcy and The Ozarks. They showed to be a really good band with strong ambitions. Vivien Searcy was full of carisma and has a beautiful voice. The whole band was as tight as a gunshot."

2004  We continue recordings for the album at GTP Studio early 2004 Charlotte "Charlie" Centervall joined The Ozarks with the gig at Alcazar in june, and stayed with us from that day on. Charlie plays acoustic & electric guitars and sings harmony vocals. Vivien & The Ozarks played at scenes like Restaurangernas Dag Kungsträdgården (Stockholm), Alcazar (Nalen) Vemdalen Countryfestival, Dancing Dingo and more. We had a stand-in for Charlie during the the Vemdalen gig. Another Charlie, Charlie Berg, leadsinger from the famous Swedish band Charlies Magasine, helped us out and enjoyed playing with us. At Dancing Dingo we had the premier playing unplugged, all acoustic instruments. Jonas switched the electric bass to a straight up bass. The crowd even mentioned we sounded like Alison Kraus & The Union Station.. (We thank u for that compliment :)

We continued recording & planning for the album and during fall we started recording additional musicians in the new Ragdoll Studio.

2005 Full house in the Ragdoll Studio all year long, for the additional recordings for the Vivien Searcy Album. Recording musicians like Kjell Johansson, Thomas Haglund, Annika Blomfeldt and Nicke Widén. During fall Nicke joined The Ozarks and became an ordinairy member.

The Ragdoll Studio gave the project the workingflow we all longed for. It´s sounding really great.

The Swedish Magazine “Country Gazette” reviews one of Vivien Searcy and The Ozarks concert as follows:
SCMC Gazetten (nr 12-2002) by Susanne Franke

"When Vivien and the band started with the first song, all the attention was for Vivien. And it continued to be that way during the whole evening, I might say.
Vivien is a real entertainer with a strong and intense stage presence.."
"She seems to be very self confident , manifesting strength and joy. Add to that a bearing and playful voice and a sensual body language..."
"Nearly all material performed was original. The lyrics were easy to relate to and the music was tough and beautiful at the same time…"
"Martin Tallström sang harmony vocals on several songs and his voice was a charming complement to Vivien's.
Amongst the songs, there was a ballad and it was like listening to the angels."
"You could tell that the "Boss" is a sound engineer, because the sound was unusually good…"
"The response of the audience was overwhelming all night, so I guess I'm not the only one who enjoyed this new artist and band.."
