Early life
Oviawe was born in Benin City and moved to Ireland at two where she grew up in the County Cork town of Mallow. Oviawe's parents, Joy and Joe, named her after the actress Demi Moore. They had two sons upon moving to Ireland. Oviawe lost her mother at five and her father at 15, both to cancer. She and her brothers were taken care of by their Irish stepmother Kim Carroll, with whom their father had two more sons, and their paternal uncle Courage.[3][7]
Oviawe attended Mallow No 1 National School and then Davis College, completing her Leaving Cert in 2019.[8] She first discovered acting at the former when she was cast as Mary in the school's nativity play.[9] At the latter, she played camogie and Gaelic Football, and starred in school productions of Beauty and the Beast, Grease and Sister Act.[3] Initially, Oviawe planned to train as a secondary school teacher. However, in 2017 she auditioned on YouTube for a role in the TV series The Young Offenders, and won the role of Linda Walsh.[3]
