NOT A “REGULAR” PR BY

B

eing an influencer in the luxury lifestyle, I have always been surrounded by big brands and celebrities.

It’s not a school, but surroundings give you the best skills in your industry! Classical PR tools are no longer effective; only very creative “agents” can win the “battle”.

I learned myself how to be popular and it took me time however today I can make famous even little mouse What does “not a regular” PR mean?

I believe the only way to become popular for those seeking popularity is to constantly step out of your comfort zone. Today, mere publicity is not enough… It has to be a combination of follow-up actions to elevate the most popular tool to make it work. Psychological factors also matter. I have never been just an Agent for my clients; I am a friend who always gets the best options. That’s why it always works!

How do you do promotion with the Magazine if publicity is not enough?

Apar t from adver tisers who need visibility and new customers, I never offer just publicity to my potential client for PR. It’s always a package, which will include either very exclusive shootings that afterward become reasons for other media to spread the news, tailor-made media-­supported events followed by massive publicity, so-called media “seeds”, or big city screen advertising!

If I go, I go big! Moreover, nowadays, I prefer to be digital and work with other digital media sources! Active links make life so much easier…

Do you prefer to work with Events or Publicity?

I don’t have preferences!

I love to search and find ways to promote people and brands! At the end, every event connected with publicity works perfectly with the right approach.I have the one and only officially registered Beauty Pageant in Monaco, “Miss TheGlam Monaco,” hopefully, a new edition will happen next year! With my partners, I am also working on other very high-level media-­s upported competitions in the US and Europe.

Actually, beauty pageants are one of the most powerful tools for future Models and Influencers!

growing it; you go to the supermarket to buy it. Am I right? When you seek to have an army of fans, you always have to show that you are a little bit more successful than you actually are. Only then will that point showcase your confidence and, at the same time, bring you closer to your goals faster!

I love everything exclusive so every project preparation takes high end individual approach

What are your current projects?

Since the magazine turned completely to a digital vers i o n we a re c o m i n g o u t nearly every month! I love everything exclusive so every cover shooting preparation takes high end individual approach.

I am also working a lot on a visual advertising for my clients and its placement such as City screens in a different countries and other media.

My production team is growing at the moment. Also advisory services on a marketing strategy exists. Since some time I learned how to turn free of charge advices to a “full plan” delivery.

What is your superpower?

I have two!

I learned myself how to be popular and it took me time however today I can make famous even little mouse in a shortest time! The other strongest part of me is connecting people.

Can you build your brand image organically?

Not really. You know, the best investment is an investment in yourself! Why would I wait 10 years to become famous if I can do it within one year? Of course, there is a commercial part involved; however, when you want to eat a cucumber, you are not

INTERNATIONAL GENOMICS AND ANTI-AGING EXPERT PROF. DR.

ELENA BARANOVA,

MD, PHD, HDR. MONACO

Transform the еnergy of your genes into the energy of your life!

EU Commission expert for: "Genomics, Life Science, and Biotechnology for Health & Personalised Medicine".

Honorary Member of the World Council of Preventive Medicine – WOCPM; European Society of Anti-aging Medicine Author of many publications in different languages and books in genomics and anti-aging medicine.

20 2024

Elena, the main topic of your activity is antiaging, and you are working with both genders.

Can you explain the difference between the aging process of men and women?

Male and female organisms function in different ways. Women are cyclic with hormonal cycles of oestogens and progesterone. Men are not; their health is significantly supported by testosterone on the permanent basis. This difference in hormonal function leads to significant difference in aging process in men and women. However, both genders have hormonal decline, which is known as menopause in women and andropause in men. Interestingly, men are often surprised, when we talk to them that andropause exists. The greatest news are that scientifically longevity today is estimated at 120 years. Now, you can imagine that a man who is 120 years old is not seen at the same way by the society, compared to a woman who is 120.

But for both, the real question is how to live happily, and for us, girls, also to remain attractive with and independently on age. Obviously, the first part of our life is relatively easy to live in terms of natural energy sources we are born with — including our DNA and physical potential. With age we develop our mental and spiritual potential, but our vital physical forces and gene activity start to decrease, in particular at age after 35. The real CHALLENGE is to use, develop and keep in balance our DNA, physical, mental and spiritual potential. And this is how our unique BARANOVA MONACO personalised health and antiaging programs work.

Longevety increase has changed also the social trends: youth is considered to be up to 50 y.o., and according to some classifications, childhood lasts up to 30 y.o. Furthermore, active adult age is considered to be between 50 to 75–80 y.o. And elderly corresponds to age after 80 y.o.

There is a common expression that “men age like fine wine” …

It is however debatable — we really have to care actively to make it so. For women, it is definitely more challenging to maintain themselves in good shape.

The difference is coming essentially from our genetics and hormones. We have the same hormones but in different concentrations and priorities. For men, testosterone is crucial. It is responsible not only for sexual activity, but also brain function and cardio health. Men have testosterone production throughout their lives, although the quantity decreases by up to 1–2% per year from the age of 30. With alcohol consumption, hormone levels decrease more quickly. The process of spermiogenesis continues until the last breath, and the key factor that needs to be maintained in a male’s body is a good level of testosterone. The female body is different. Girls are already born with limited number of ovocytes (female sexual cells), which are used during limited period of time, called “reproductive age”. The longer

The main challenge in my work is to help people activate and use their genetic potential, which facilitates the release of physical, mental, and emotional resources hidden in each of us by nature.

is reproductive age, the better it is for a woman and anti-aging. However the real breakthrough of the 21st century concerns: 1) GENOMICS — how to make your genes work for you through optimization of their activity. It is my job)). 2) Hormonal regulation with BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES (sexual hormones, adrenal glands hormones, thyroid regulation, etc..) which gives not only anti-aging effect, libido and sexual life improvement, but also protects us from a lot of diseases — heart attacks, burnout syndrome, depression, osteoporosis, dementia and many others.

There is an opinion: “the more a man has sex, the more he spends his testosterone.” How can you explain that?

Nature is very smart, and the more man expends, the more he produces. Precisely, there is an important spermatogenesis and men health activation through regular sexual activity. Also, I have seen in my practice significant natural hormone increase once the person fall in love. Indeed, man becomes stronger and younger even according to blood test results! But it also concerns women, of course. Furthermore, it was proven, that regular sexual rapport from 3 times per week has significant rejuvenation effect on the body and brain activity.

Amazing! Love is in the air! How we may explain it?

Interestingly, if you look at ancient wall pictures in Tibetan caves, India, or Egypt, you will see that epiphysis is drawn as the major source of our being.

It is now confirmed scientifically that the induction of hormonal production, DNA activation and feelings is driven by epiphysis. Falling in love is epiphanic!

How do you explain that an older man is attracted by younger woman?

It can be explained by energetic levels. In all cases the woman is the source of energy for man. And often man does not really care how old is she, if energetic level of the woman is high. Moreover, sexologists and sociologists have studied it and estimated the optimal age difference between men and women to be 16 years, with the woman being older due to the difference in sexuality evolution with age. Thus, female sexuality increases and develops with age. Instead, men peak sexually is between 25 and 28. At this age, the level of testosterone is the highest, so such man will always be attractive to a woman with a high level of sexuality. When it’s vice versa, and an older man seeks younger ladies, especially with a big age gap, it means that his energy level is low, so he needs to supplement the difference with his surroundings. Men are not really attracted by age; so-called chemistry appears at the energy level.

What do you think about pellets — currently popular approach for hormonal regulation?

It is quite promising approach. However, it is less exact and less personalised compared to regular hormonal usage, when we can better regulate

22 2024

hormonal concentrations. Finally, pellets are very good for usage at age after 70 y.o., when hormonal background should be strongly and permanently supported. Pellets do not exclude additional personalised hormonal usage.

Do you think it is possible for women at 120 years old to look like 60?

We should do even better! Let’s define what age means because, in fact, we have three ages: CHRONOLOGICAL age — these are the numbers written in your passport, which you keep for customs purposes only, and which is just the day you arrived at this Earth. Then we have PSYCHOLOGICAL age, which is extremely important: the younger is your psychological age, the more projects and plans you have and your brain programs your projection

All we need is love and the right psychological age.

to the future. And the easier it would be to improve your biological age! Unfortunately, sometimes I see teenagers with a psychological age of 70 years old… without any plans or disiers. These are complicated cases, which need additional psychological approach.

But in all cases there’s BIOLOGICAL age, which is defined by the condition of your health. However, our different organs and systems have different biological age. My role as an expert in anti-aging medicine and genomics is to improve and optimize our biological age of different organs and systems using gene regulation, hormonal regulation, micronutrition and brain activity — in integrative way.

So, are you the one who could turn back time?

Not only. Today we can turn back time and activate the future with the help of young psychological age.

This is the key point. We then adjust biological age to the young psychological age using different advanced methods. Today it doesn’t matter what is written in your passport; it’s just your long-term visa upon arrival on Earth. At my work we bring our patients to the most attractive and comfortable age in each particular case. As the result, we have often the cases of people 65 y.o. according to the passport, but 37 y.o.— real age as the result of our personalised programs.

Beauty should be trusted to experts!

24 2024

Let’s delve into your journey. What motivated you to specialize specifically in “injectable beauty enhancements.”

I was drawn to this profession by the captivating allure of feminine beauty. In the world of aesthetics, a stunning face is defined by flawless skin, a radiant complexion, and a natural glow.

After finishing school, I enrolled at the respected A. A. Bogomolets Medical University, eventually specializing as a dermatovenereologist. Dermatology fascinated me so deeply that I decided to dedicate my career to cosmetic medicine.

What is your attitude to a plastic surgery?

As a lover of all things cosmetic, I have a positive outlook on plastic surgery. Depending on the issue and the person’s age, many problems can be solved with minimally invasive methods. But if needed, surgery is an option too. I always explain this to my clients. Working closely with skilled plastic surgeons, we consistently achieve great results!

Which medications do you prefer?

I’m very careful about products I use, only using certified ones. In skilled hands, any treatments can work wonders!

What inspires you?

My inspiration comes from seeing my clients happy with the results of our work. Beauty should be trusted to experts! Choosing an aesthetic specialist is important. Patients often seek someone they feel comfortable with. A good doctor should be friendly and make you feel relaxed during all treatments.

dr.lydmila dl.beautyspace

What’s your work approach? How can one reach you?

While I’m active on social media, the best advertising is still word of mouth and the visible results of my work!

If there’s a chance to pause aging, why not take it?

What does “youthfulness and beauty” mean to you?

When you hear those words, you just want to look in the mirror and see that youthful, beautiful reflection! It’s a universal desire.

What do you think about the natural aging process?

If there’s a chance to pause aging, why not take it? It’s up to the individual, but feeling self confident in your skin is important!

What are your upcoming plans?

I’m always focused on learning and growing.

I’m excited to attend a conference in Monaco in March to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in cosmetic medicine.

Zenobia: Unveiling the Majesty of Luxury Perfumery with Tomavicci’s Latest Olfactory Masterpiece

I

n the world of haute parfumerie, where scent is elevated to an art form and fragrance becomes an expression of one’s innermost desires, Tomavicci stands as a beacon of excellence. With each creation, Tomavicci sets the standard for luxury perfumery, and their latest offering, Zenobia, is no exception.

Named after the legendary queen of Palmyra, Zenobia is a fragrance that embodies the spirit of strength, beauty, and unapologetic femininity. Like its namesake, Zenobia commands attention from the moment it touches the skin, weaving a tale of opulence and intrigue that captivates the senses.

At the heart of Zenobia lies a delicate balance of notes, each carefully selected to evoke a sense of timeless elegance.

The fragrance opens with a burst of citrusy bergamot and aromatic neroli, reminiscent of the sun-drenched landscapes of the Mediterranean. As the scent unfolds, it reveals a lush bouquet of jasmine and rose de mai, their heady aromas mingling to create a symphony of floral decadence.

But it is in the base notes that Zenobia truly shines, with the rich, woody tones of oud and sandalwood lending depth and complexity to the fragrance. Like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered, these notes linger on the skin, leaving a trail of mystery and allure in their wake.

Yet, Zenobia is more than just a scent — it is a work of art, housed in a bottle that is as exquisite as the fragrance it contains. Inspired by the intricate beauty of ancient Palmyrene

architecture, the bottle is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, adorned with gold filigree that dances in the light like rays of sunshine on a midsummer’s day.

From its delicately curved silhouette to its ornate detailing, every aspect of the Zenobia bottle speaks to the unparalleled luxury and refinement for which Tomavicci is renowned. It is a testament to the brand’s dedication to excellence, a symbol of their commitment to creating perfumes that are as beautiful to behold as they are to wear.

But perhaps what truly sets Zenobia apart is its ability to transport the wearer to another time and place — to a world of opulence and extravagance where anything is possible. With just a spritz of Zenobia, one can imagine oneself wandering the sun-drenched streets of ancient Palmyra, surrounded by the splendor of a bygone era.

In a world where luxury is often synonymous with excess, Tomavicci proves that true luxury lies in the art of restraint — in the careful balance of notes, in the exquisite craftsmanship of a bottle, and in the timeless elegance of a fragrance that transcends the fleeting trends of the moment.

With Zenobia, Tomavicci invites you to embark on a journey into the heart of luxury — to experience a scent that is as timeless and enchanting as the queen who inspired it. So, indulge your senses, embrace your inner queen, and let Zenobia be your guide to a world of unparalleled beauty and sophistication.

We established Royal Gentlemen to champion our vision of the “Grand Art de Vivre.”

ICONIC ROYAL GENTLEMEN

BY THOMAS MISSE AND MAREK HARMONY Thomas Misse: Having arrived in Monaco 23 years ago, initially as a student and later as a financial advisor, I witnessed the flourishing era of elegance in Monte-­Carlo.

However, after 2018, and especially during the COVID‑19 pandemic, this essence began to fade. In August 2019, during a chance encounter at Hôtel Métropole, Marek Harmony and I discussed reviving the lost grandeur of Monaco, birthing the idea of Royal Gentlemen. Our objective is to promote the “Grand Art de Vivre” through various cultural events encompassing fashion, design, literature, music, gastronomy, and more.

S

ince their inception in 2020, they’ve been the architects of elegance, and on January 26th, they transformed the Ritz Paris into a realm where the ethereal blend of lifestyle, art, and culture was not merely presented but lived and breathed.

This illustrious event, Pavilion Royal, became a beacon of creativity, where the fusion of exhibitions, promotions, and a vibrant marketplace became the gathering ground for creators and the crème de la crème of society.

Here, the air was thick with anticipation, and every moment held the promise of something breathtaking.

Artistry took center stage, manifesting in forms as varied and splendid as the human imagination allows — from the visual feast of paintings and sculptures to the sartorial poetry of haute couture. The event was adorned with the finest in luxury — leather goods that whispered tales of craftsmanship, jewelry that twinkled with stories of yore, and perfumes that carried the essence of distant lands. A constellation of premier brands, including L’shyan Brand, BLEIT by Nora, Atelier Élise Bellec,

TAKAVI, Encarnacion, and Elke Berr creations, along with Royal Gentlemen, dazzled attendees with a runway show that was nothing short of spectacular. To finalize the breath taking show, the special guest singer Olla arrived from Monaco to highlight the night!

As the runway’s allure faded into the night, the Pavilion Royal transformed into a vibrant celebration of life, with dancing, mesmerizing performances, and an atmosphere that was electric with joy and connection.

The crescendo of this magical evening was a Gala dinner, an ode to the sublime marriage of art and gastronomy, set against a backdrop of ‘snowy tie’ elegance.

Each table, a testament to refined taste, basked in the glow of satisfaction and delight.Among the glittering assembly, Her Highness Princess Anh Bonaparte lent an air of regal grace, further elevating a night that was already soaring.

The Pavilion Royal, in its essence, was not just an event; it was a vivid tapestry of moments that will forever echo in the halls of Ritz Paris, a night where the boundary between dream and reality blissfully dissolved.

Fashion Marina, could you share your feelings and observations about your experience at Riga Fashion Week? Was this your initial visit to Latvia?

Indeed, it was my inaugural journey to Latvia, particularly to Riga, and I was thoroughly enchanted by both the country and its splendid city. Regarding the Riga Fashion Week, my experiences were overwhelmingly positive. I was particularly impressed by the exceptional organizational standard, ranging from the models and makeup artists to the minutest details, supported by an outstanding team.

Can you elucidate on your Megapolis collection and the muse behind its inception?

The collection is a reflection of the urban landscape, capturing the essence of a metropolis with its distinct structures and modern edifices, embodying the architectural finesse typical of a large city.

The collection features structured designs inspired by everything from staircases to residential buildings, aiming to intertwine architectural elegance with fashion.

In your view, how is the fashion industry adapting to the current global circumstances?

The fashion realm is undergoing significant transformations, not just in trends but also in materials and embellishments.

Contemporary fashion must strive to be benign to our planet and avoid contributing to environmental degradation.

Hence, the increasing integration of eco-friendly technologies, such as alternatives to leather and synthetic fur. For instance, my latest collection incor porates eco-leather derived from recycled olive wood.

Any insights into your upcoming collection?

I’m presently engaged in the creation of a new collection, which draws inspiration from the realm of art. I’m concurrently pursuing further studies in art history. The essence of my brand is deeply intertwined with art and architecture, ensuring that the forthcoming collection will be imbued with profound philosophical undertones, which I find highly pertinent today. However, I prefer to keep some elements shrouded in mystery for now.

What is the dream you’re chasing?

Such a dream is yet to be conceptualized.

What future projects are on your horizon?

I’m contemplating a novel project, which, although not immediate, is envisioned for the future. It involves authoring a book that encapsulates my essence as a designer, a fashion journalist, and, eventually, an art historian. And I am currently actively preparing for the Cannes Film Festival.

If you had the opportunity to dress any celebrity in your designs, who would you choose?

I would be delighted to design for Renata Litvinova, as I believe she epitomizes the core and DNA of my brand.

A motto that fuels your drive and ambition.

Conquer your doubts, and the path forward shall be your triumph.

MONACO DIVA

EDITASHAHUMYAN How did your passion to acting career start?

When I turned was thirteen, I pursued my passion for performing arts at the renowned GITIS theater academy and later at film academy. Despite my father’s initial disapproval of my acting ambitions due to our traditional Armenian background, I persuaded him to support my dreams. Since the childhood, I’ve been drawn to the stage, inspired by Hollywood and Italian cinema icons like Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Sofia Loren, and Monica Bellucci.

Their grace and talent fueled my aspirations.

Likewise, filmmakers such as Federico Fellini, Francis Ford Coppola, and James Cameron left a lasting impression on my love for cinema. For me, the world of film is enchanting — a place where imagination knows no bounds, and I can embody any character, from historical figures to fantastical creations. In short, cinema remains my enduring passion.

Why Monaco?

Thought of living in Monaco never crossed my mind. For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamt of residing in Rome, Italy. Yet, three years ago, I found myself drawn to Monte Carlo for a project. In Moscow, I ran a women’s school for a decade, teaching manners, dance, acting, etiquette, and self-confidence. Inspired by the idea, I decided to host a similar workshop in Monaco for European women.When I arrived in here, I had no expectations. I simply wanted to visit, inspired by my admiration for Grace Kelly. However, It was love at first sight — the people, the weather, the lifestyle, and above all, the culture of connection. Monaco became a sanctuary for me, providing solace after the loss of my father.

What did inspire you to create Women Club?

Living my own experience of integrating myself in a foreign society, I envisioned a community where women from around the world could immerse themselves in local life, not as tourists but as residents. I wanted to share Monaco’s enchanting and healing energy with them, hoping to help others recover from similar traumas

My drive stems from a desire to live life to the fullest, making the most of every second so that, in the end, I have no regrets about how I spent my entire life. Life is a precious gift meant to be lived vibrantly and purposefully for the soul’s enrichment.

What is the plan for the nearest future?

Well, there are plenty ideas, especially for the residents of my club. However, there is always a right time to unveil. After all, the essence of our club is to enrich women’s lives with vibrant surprises, victories, and exhilarating emotions and that is the plan!

as I did. My goal was to offer my guests an unforgettable experience in Monaco, where they could reset and rejuvenate.

What is your mission?

My mission is to empowering Women Worldwide as a global citizen! Despite on the deepest love to my homeland I respect and admire the cultures of all nations. Through Monaco Inspiration Club I am able to unite intelligent, influential women worldwide, transcending politics and religion.

THE RANSFORMATIVE POWER OF BEAUTY PAGEANTS: A JOURNEYBEYOND THE CROWN 88 2024

er involvement with the “Business Ukrainian Women” organization and her role as a Goodwill Ambassador for Europe on behalf of the International Commission of Human Rights (Goodwill Ambassador IHRC) speak volumes of her dedication to societal and global welfare. Sosiukina’s accolades in the beauty pageant world are numerous, including titles such as Mrs Ukraine 2020, Mrs World International Ukraine 2020, Mrs Monaco 2021, Mrs Universe Monaco 2021, Mrs Premier America 2021, Ms World International USA Premier 2021, Ms Glamorous 2021 USA, and Mrs Globe France Classic 2023, showcasing her elegance and poise on a global stage.

Beyond her titles and professional roles, Juliya is a dynamic force in event organization, specializing in weddings, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions), and charitable projects. A notable highlight was her pivotal role in the Ukrainian Fashion Film Festival held during the Cannes Festival, supporting Ukraine and attracting over 500 international guests, celebrities, and media coverage. Her dedication to philanthropy and peace is further evidenced by her receipt of the Golden Order of Peace from the OSCE among other recognitions.

Representing four world beauty contests across different countries, Sosiukina is not just a figure of grace and beauty but also an advocate for empowerment and cultural exchange. Her passion for sports, certified PADI Advance diving skills, and artistic pursuits in writing poetry, songs, and painting, coupled with her love for travel, paint the picture of a multifaceted and deeply engaged individual. Juliya Sosiukina embodies the essence of a modern, empowered woman, dedicated to making a significant impact in every sphere she touches.

In a realm where dreams and determination collide, beauty pageants emerge not merely as contests of physical allure but as platforms for profound personal growth and global connectivity. Once weighing 98 kg post-pregnancy in 2019, my journey to the runway was fueled by an unwavering willpower, leading to an astounding weight loss of 37 kg in just nine months. This metamorphosis wasn’t just physical; it was the beginning of a transformative journey that saw me clinching the prestigious title of MRS World International Ukraine in 2020, and later, two more titles in Miami: Mrs World

International Premier and Ms Glamorous.

These accolades, however, are not the crux of my narrative. They are but milestones in a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and humanitarian outreach. Post-­February 24, 2022, amidst the upheaval, I channeled my efforts into volunteerism, my crowns serving as beacons of hope, eventually earning me the honor of GOODWILL Ambassador IHRC and the Golden Order of Peace from the OSCE. In the universe of Mrs beauty contests, the pursuit transcends conventional beauty to celebrate success, confidence, and self-realization. These platforms are incubators for motivation, self-improvement, and international friendship, offering opportunities to become brand ambassadors, grace Hollywood red carpets, and partake in global collaborations. The essence of participating lies not in the pursuit of victory but in the journey of transformation that invariably steers life towards a brighter, more meaningful direction.

Today, as a representative of four world-­renowned beauty pageants, my insights into the intricacies of pageantry are profound. These stages are not just about winning; they are about confidence-­building, potential-­ unlocking experiences that resonate deeply with those who dare to dream.

Beauty pageants, thus, are more than glittering tiaras and sashes; they are catalysts for change, empowerment, and global goodwill. The true essence of being a queen lies not in the crown but in the mission to spread love, beauty, peace, and kindness across the globe.

As we navigate our paths, let us remember that every woman holds the power to redefine her destiny, to inspire, and to illuminate the world with her unique brilliance.

The essence of participating in a Beauty Pageant lies not in the pursuit of victory but in the journey of transformation that invariably steers life towards a brighter, more meaningful direction.

Shortly after, her dance-pop single “Weightless” was aired on multiple European radio stations and featured on Spotify’s most prominent playlists such as “Viral Hits” and “Hits Italiane.”

October 2023, Olla’s single “Paradise” captured the attention of one of the most influential music magazines — Billboard Italia. “Being featured on Billboard is definitely one of the biggest dreams for any artist.

So I felt very happy, grateful, and once again reassured that you never have to stop working for what you want,” says Olla.

I always talk about something that is close to my heart and something that is essential. Music-wise, I use a lot of ethnic instruments in my productions, as I believe that the true power lies in our roots and in connection with our souls. So this nomination was of great significance to me, showing that not only trivial but also deep music is still trendy,” says Olla.

2024 has started with a busy schedule of live shows and concerts around Europe, including a performance at Paris Fashion Week.

“This year, I have a few surprises ready for my audience. More music is coming, and it will incorporate many new insights, as well as new production features that I am looking forward to sharing with you,” says Olla.

As her recognition grows, Olla’s songs have already reached over a million views on YouTube and streams on Spotify. With her chic style, talent, and charming voice, she’s someone you’ll want to keep an eye on this year.
