About: Growing up in a small village in Lower Austria, you can find a gem of a musician named OSKA.

  • She moved to Vienna at age 18 to study music, and from there, she started busking on the streets and squares of the capital.

  • Her charm comes through in an authentic way that shines with honest lyricism and tender melodies.

  • Her debut album, My World, My Love, Paris, told tales of her family life and the experience of being young.

Success: OSKA has seen immense success as a remarkable talent, receiving praise from Indie-Shuffle, COLLIDE, Clout, and others.

  • She was also awarded multiple music awards, including the Amadeus Austrian Music Award for Best Sound in 2022.

  • She has had a remarkable career thus far, captivating audiences with a memorable performance at SXSW this year and an upcoming debut with BANNERS on the popular TV morning show ZDF in Germany.

  • Lastly, Austrian fans of OSKA are excited to see her open for Coldplay and Maggie Rogers in August 2024, solidifying herself as a rising star on the international stage.

Forever Blue: Earlier this month, she released her newest gem, Forever Blue, on all platforms.

  • The song fills the listener's ears with warmth and glow through jangly guitars, cosmic harmonies, and upbeat percussion that move you.

  • Inspired by a car ride she took with her childhood friend, where they played their favorite songs for hours before New Year's Eve.

  • OSKA finds a renewed sense of excitement, reminding listeners to find happiness in the little things in life.

What OSKA says: "It felt like being children again; playing, goofing around, snoozing off in the car; not a worry in the world. This song is about reflecting on tough situations and realizations, like childhood ending. It’s also about friendship and the beauty of having people in your life who can make you feel at peace by something as simple as listening to music together."

OSKA Feedback: A nostalgic touch in OSKA's music makes you stop and listen; it brings a warm glow to your face and a sense of relatability to each line.

  • Sometimes, the feelings you get and the sounds you hear engulf you so much that it is unexplainable.

  • She is the definition of musical magic, something that transcends what you hear.

  • The music doesn't stop short of making you feel things, as well as making you want to sway.

Collective Feedback: My favorite songs in her collection include Mona Lisa, A Girl's Best Friend, Woodstock, and Somebody.

  • Mona Lisa encapsulates what makes an OSKA song so beautiful; the power of fantastic production and vocals are magnificently present in this song.

  • Woodstock makes you want to shout out the words, even if you don't know them.

  • I t's no surprise that Somebody is her most famous song; it's danceable and incredible in every way.

Forever Blue Feedback: The new single is an acoustic masterpiece; if you have not heard the song, this is your universal sign to get on it now!

  • I love that the little things are highlighted in this song because the little things make this song perfect and marvelous.

  • OSKA is my new favorite radio station on all platforms because her music is perfect for the summer.

  • This song is ideal for Maggie Rogers, Chelsea Cutler, Birdy, Lana Del Ray fans, and others.
