For the next fourteen years, she travelled the world with the children's choir and performed in many countries, including Japan, the United States, China, Singapore, Mexico, and all over Europe.[4] Olivia studied for a year in Germany because she wanted to learn German and then returned to Romania and continued her faculty and master's degree also in German.[4]

On April 16, 2021, Olivia Addams released the single "Stranger" through Global Records and Creator Records.[20][21] [22] The single performed well in the Commonwealth of Independent States.[23] Also, in April 2021, she released the single "Believe" with the Jealous Friend band.[24]
In May 2021, Addams was invited to Poland. During this trip, she gave an interview to Paulina Krupińska and Damian Michałowski in the program Dzień Dobry TVN and was invited to Radio Eska, Radio Zet and 4fun.tv.[25][26][27] She also sang in a duet with Sanah in her song "Invisible Dress".[28]
On June 24, 2021, she released together with the Romanian band Akcent the single "Heart Attack".[29] The music and lyrics of the song were created by Achim Marian, Adrian Sînă, Andreas Öberg, George Papagheorghe and Olivia Addams.[30]
After the Best New Artist Award won in 2020 at The Artist Awards, Olivia Addams was also nominated in 2021 for two categories ("Best Artist of the Future" and "International Breakthrough") and won the award for "Best Artist on TikTok".[31]
