“My parents were not musical, but my mom just really wanted my brother and I to learn music as well as practice sports. It's a balance for which I'm thankful. I'm not sure I'm more balanced than anyone, but I'm happier because I can make music and I'm really thankful for that.” SportsParentBrotherMomBalanceMusicalMy MomNot SureMy Brother Author:Olivia Merilahti
“English has always been my musical language. When I started writing songs when I was 13 or 14, I started writing in English because it's the language in between. I speak Finnish, I speak French, so I'll write songs in English because that's the music I listen to. I learned so much poetry and the poetic way of expressing myself is in English.” WritingSongSpeakLanguageMusicalPoeticFinnish Author:Olivia Merilahti
