This week we had the absolute please of speaking with Oléin.Born and raised in South London, Oléin breaks boundaries within multiple music genres with her uniquely evolving sound and image. As she finds herself floating between her Turkish and Sierra Leonean roots, Oléin very early in her life started exploring the meaning of identity, aiming to bridge the gap between her cultures and Western upbringing through music. After winning a music scholarship with her piano, violin and vocal performance, Oléin continued exploring her passions for the arts, taking full creative direction of her artistic vision, sound and development. With her fiery, bold, yet playful feminine touch, Oléin is all about diversity, confidence, and being unapologetically herself. Oléin expresses this through her music by playing around with a range of sounds giving you a taste of lustful afroswing, smokey pop and a touch of glossy R&B.
