Oshanna, an authentic rising artist from Brampton, just released her newest single, “Energy” on May 5th. She discusses her music, influences, and what inspired her latest single in an interview with Remixd Mag.
Her sound can be described as a “collage of emotions” that delivers different sounds, different pieces, perspectives, and insight into who she is. Oshanna’s passion for music stems from the safe space it has created for her to express herself.
“Energy” is an uplifting and encouraging single that showcases her skill in a beautiful way.
Oshanna draws inspiration from various artists including, Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, and Kiesha Cole, among others. Her latest single, “Energy,” was inspired by one of her closest friendships. The friendship aided in her growth and allowed her to see herself and others more clearly. Oshanna explained that she had an issue making female friends due to moving around and few friendships didn’t last due to ego and pride. The single that the friendship is based on transcended their pride and egos and they were able to be themselves in their rawest form.
“Energy is about being in tune with someone so that it doesn’t take much for us to read one another’s energy. This project is about a friendship that took its time to develop despite the pasts of each character,” she explained to RemixdMag. “When I first met this person, we immediately clicked. With time, I started to learn about their past and realized how guarded they were, but it also gave me a chance to go within and empathize with them as I began to understand them more.”
What’s next for the artist
Oshanna is excited about the near feature and says she will be releasing another single on June 23rd and an EP in August this year. Be sure to catch Oshanna live and in action this summer as she will be taking the stage at the NXNE Festival in Toronto in June and in Miami on Nov. 11th as the 1st place winner of the Coast to Coast Artist Showcase.
From “Energy,” Oshanna hopes people take away the importance of liberation and empowerment to overcome what they are going through and don’t speak about. From her music in general, she hopes people will understand that they are not alone in their battles and that if she can get out of her own way and continue to move the needle in her life, then so can they.
In conclusion, Oshanna’s single “Energy” is a testament to her personal growth within herself and her perspective on friendship as an artist. Her music is not only relatable but also encouraging, and it is clear she has a wonderful future ahead within the music industry. Fans can look forward to more of Oshanna’s soulful direction and unique sound in the coming months.
