Career
He released his debut single "Now" in 2009, which was included on his 2009 debut album Introducing Steven Lee Olsen, released on RGK Records, . He followed his debut single with the release of another single "Make Hay While the Sun Shines". Olsen toured in the 2009 CMT on Tour Live show, along with Jason Blaine, Tara Oram and The Higgins.
In April 2014, Olsen signed with Columbia Nashville. Later that year, he released his major-label debut single, "Raised by a Good Time", which was certified Gold by Music Canada in August 2015. He released the album Timing Is Everything on his own label SLO Circus Records in 2018.
In 2021, Olsen signed a joint record deal with Universal Music Canada and The Core Entertainment, and released the extended play Relationship Goals, which included the 2021 CFL Song of the Year, "What You're Made Of". In early 2023, he released the single "Outta Yours" and joined the Canadian leg of Old Dominion's "No Bad Vibes Tour" as an opening act.
