Indie-Pop Artist OLEYADA Shares Romantic New Single “Por Siempre” Ahead Of Anticipated EP Release
Oleyada, the mesmerizing indie-pop sensation, renowned for her enchanting blend of lyrics and dreamy melodies, has dropped her latest single, “Por Siempre”, giving us a taste of what’s to come on her upcoming EP, Late Night Jam, set for release on July 19th.
First off, care to introduce yourself to our readers?
I’m Oleyada, a singer/songwriter making indie-pop music influenced by Latin, RnB, and rock in Mississauga!
Tell us a bit about your recent release.
Por Siempre is my first Spanish-language release (my parents are from Uruguay and I grew up in a Spanish-speaking household). I wrote it with Malik Mungo, one of the best guitarists I know and a member of the Toronto band, The Free Label. It’s about committing to forever with someone, no matter what twists and turns they may take – as long as they remain honest.
How do you typically go about the songwriting process? Do you have a specific method or creative routine that you follow?
My ideas usually come while life is happening, so I’ll jot down lyric ideas in the notes app or melodies in the voice memo app. Then when I’m in the mood to write, I’ll look back through my collection and pick what inspires me the most in that moment and expand upon it.
Looking ahead, what are your plans for supporting this new release? Are there any upcoming tours, music videos, or additional content that fans can look forward to in connection with this project?
Por Siempre is the first of many singles from my upcoming EP, Late Night Jam. I also have a bunch of live videos coming out to support it!
Looking back on your musical career, is there a particular moment or accomplishment that you consider a turning point or a highlight?
Doing the RBC Launchpad Music Entrepreneurship program in 2020. It’s hard to know where to start in a music career, having a good overview of the music industry is key. And I met my publisher, Vince DeGiorgio there!
Last but not least, it’s time to pay it forward, what upcoming band or artist would you recommend your fans check out?
Check out Jessie Vickery! She’s a great songwriter, a friend of mine, and has some new music coming out.
