What is your stage name?
Olla.
Is there a story behind your stage name?
I chose Olla as my stage name because I wanted it to be close to my real name. It sounds nice and is easy to remember.
Where do you find inspiration?
I believe that life is full of inspiration; you just need to see it. For me, traveling is a great source of inspiration. Learning about various cultures always opens up something undiscovered for me.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
It was the main source of entertainment, of course, but mainly it was a great passion. I dreamt of pursuing a career in music as I grew up. And, even as a kid, I saw music as my life-path.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
No, my family was not connected to music or any artistic sphere. It was a challenge for me when I started pursuing an artistic career, but I’m happy to be the first one to open that industry for my family.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
It was no one in particular. The idea of being an artist fascinated me, especially in childhood. The excitement I felt watching someone on stage grew into a serious passion, and into a full-time occupation 😉
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
Singing was something I did since childhood. Although I didn’t start doing music at an early age due to family-related history, I went to study music in LA as soon as I had the chance as an adult. Since then I am regularly having vocal classes with my coach. Excelling and developing the skills you have is essential 😉
What was the first concert that you ever went to, and who did you see perform?
Honestly, I don’t remember the first concert I attended. The latest one was Beyonce’s this year, and it was just magical.
How could you describe your music?
My music reflects all my feelings, thoughts, and experiences. I aim to convey deep yet positive messages that make my audience feel good, remember something nice, or motivate them to be optimistic. I feel it might be more relevant for an adult audience. Also, in all my songs, I try to use the sounds of ethnic or live instruments, as I believe this adds a sophisticated touch to my productions.
Describe your creative process.
I brainstorm and jam a lot with my team at the studio. Often during rehearsals, we come up with melodies that we develop on the spot. Once the skeleton is there, we all sleep on it and come back with fresh suggestions for harmonies and production.
What musician do you admire most and why?
I deeply admire Bruno Mars for his versatility and boundless charisma. Beyoncé stands as a true icon in both music and fashion.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
I believe I’m still evolving in my style. I’ve tried quite a few different genres this year, and I feel like I’m to find my perfect and organic sound soon.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
As I’m only at the beginning of my artistic path, I believe it’s a little bit too early to talk about competitors. Overall, the whole industry is very competitive. I already have gained a certain portion of my audience, and that is what matters to me.
What are your interests outside of music?
I am a big fan of psychology. Understanding how people think, increasing my own self-awareness, and looking deeper into why people do things is very useful and extremely interesting. I also do a lot of sports.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
I cannot imagine my life without music. Being an artist was my dream, so I am pursuing it. In any case, I believe I would still be in the music industry, even if not in the role of an artist.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
Songwriter’s block, I guess. There are, unfortunately, moments when it’s just hard to catch the flow. This is both challenging and frustrating.
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
I believe there are not enough opportunities for starting singers to really get themselves out there. As a starting musician, you face a lot of obstacles on your way, and at the same time, you have to compete with the big whales of the industry. I believe that streaming platforms and big media channels should probably dedicate some attention to the rising stars.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
“Down In The Deep” is the central phrase of the song. It implies all the complexities of our feelings and emotions. It’s hard sometimes to understand yourself, but when it comes to relationships, even obvious things might need a deeper analysis. Finding the core of the problems is hard work, as this core is hidden down in the deep.
What are your plans for the coming months? I could truly call my plans grandiose. There are following releases planned, as well as shoots. But you’ll see everything when the time comes.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans?
I do actually! I would like to keep it a surprise for the moment. But what I can tell you now is that it will be a collaboration with an Italian artist.
What message would you like to give to your fans?
I want to thank all of them deeply for supporting my music and my artistry! I always read all the comments, and I appreciate honest feedback! And stay tuned; I have a lot of things prepared for you.
