Can you share the story behind your journey into music and what inspired you to pursue a career as an artist?
Music has always been a part of who I am. From my early childhood when I heard music something very inspiring woke up inside me. It was a power that made me go for it. I think I fell in love with the way music could capture emotion and tell a story better than words alone ever could. What truly pushed me to pursue it as a career was realizing how much impact a single song can have on someone’s life. The right lyrics at the right moment can heal, empower, or bring joy—and I wanted to be a part of that. So I started writing my own music, pouring my experiences and feelings into each song. That journey turned into a passion, and that passion became my path. Being an artist allows me to connect with people on such a deep level, and that connection is what drives me every day.
Which artists or genres have had the most significant impact on your musical style, and how have they shaped your sound?
I’ve always been drawn to artists who aren’t afraid of experiments and self-expression. I listened to a mix of pop, dance and electronic music—artists like Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, Sia, and Miley Cyrus had a huge impact on me. At the same time, I’m also inspired by classic pop icons like Madonna and Kylie Minogue—their energy, confidence, and reinvention really taught me the art of pop as both writing and performance. But in the end my sound became unique and I
work on my own style, presentation and self-branding.
How do you hope listeners connect with your music, and what messages do you aim to convey through your songs?
I hope my music feels like a reflection of real emotions—whether it’s love, heartbreak, self-discovery, or just trying to find your place in the world. My goal is for listeners to hear a song and be understood, like someone put their feelings into words and melodies. I write from personal experience, but I always leave space for people to make the songs their own. What matters most to me is creating music that people can connect with on an emotional level—whether it brings comfort, strength, or just lets them escape for a few minutes. The core message I try to carry through my songs is that vulnerability is powerful. You don’t have to be perfect to be worthy, and it’s okay to feel deeply. If my music helps someone feel seen or less alone, then I’ve done what I set out to do.
What are your goals for the next phase of your career, and what can fans expect from you in the near future?
The next phase of my career is all about growth—both creatively and in how I connect with people. I’m focused on expanding my sound, taking more risks in my songwriting, and collaborating with other artists and producers who inspire me. I want every new release to show a different side of who I am, both musically and emotionally. One of my biggest goals is to bring my music to life on stage. In the near future, you can expect new songs, visual projects, and a few surprises I can’t wait to share. I’m just getting started, and I’m so excited for what’s coming next.
Your live session performances have been well-received. How do you prepare for these sessions, and what do you enjoy most about performing live?
Thank you! Preparing for a live session is a really focused but exciting process for me. I start by reimagining the song—stripping it back or adding new layers to make it very special in a live setting. And of course, I rehearse a lot—not just to get it technically right, but to feel fully present in the moment. I’ve been working hard on my live set, and fans can definitely expect more live sessions and performances—intimate moments where the songs are even more real and raw. Performing live gives me a chance to connect on a deeper level and create an experience, not just a show.
Your new track released on June 1st has garnered attention. Can you share the inspiration behind this song and how it differs from your previous work?
The new track is an acoustic version of my most popular song “Fallen In Love”. It has absolutely different arrangement played by a guitar, a cello, a violin and a keyboard. The acoustic instruments brought another mood to the song that was originally in an electronic dance genre. Now it’s a very romantic and sensitive song. My audience like this version as much as the original one. Creating this track we wanted to show that the same lyrics and the same melody with a different arrangement can make different influence and express new emotions.
Looking back at your earlier social media posts and comparing them to your recent work, how do you feel you’ve evolved as an artist?
Looking back, I see how much I’ve grown—not just in my music, but in how I express myself overall. In the beginning, my posts and songs were more tentative. I was still figuring out my voice, my sound, and how much of myself I wanted to share. There was passion, but also a lot of self-doubt behind the scenes. Now, I feel more confident in who I am. I made a big progress as an artist. My recent work is more intentional—sonically, visually, and emotionally. I’m more open, more fearless, and more focused on telling real stories that matter to me. Social media has become less about “posting” and more about connecting—letting people into the process, not just the final product. And I’m still learning. Every following song improves my skills as a singer and a songwriter. Every step, every post, every song
has brought me closer to my truth as an artist. And I’m proud of the evolution, because it shows I’m growing—and I plan to keep growing.
As Olha Roshe continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: her dedication to creating music that resonates on a deeply human level. With each song, performance, and visual, she invites listeners into her world—a space where vulnerability is celebrated, growth is constant, and emotion leads the way. Whether through a stripped-back acoustic ballad or a dancefloor-ready anthem, Olha’s artistry reminds us that real connection begins with honesty. And as she steps boldly into the next chapter of her career, it’s clear she’s just getting started.
