August 27, 2018 - Art & Life with Olga Kisseleva

If I were to sum up my story in one sentence, it would say: “You cannot escape yourself”! However, by taking alternative paths and detours I set myself on a unique life journey that helped me become who I am.

May 12, 2017 - OLYA - New Connections: Student Performance Piece Reaches Across Artistic Disciplines

"Olya picks up a microphone and—in her solo vocal performance—offers writhing vocal runs that correspond with the movements of the dancers, who conjure the idea of connection with interlocked fingers. The piece, "Connections" was the brainchild of Olya and served as a prime example of the type of cross-discipline collaboration envisioned by the merger between Boston Conservatory and Berklee College of Music."

May 27, 2015 - OLYA - "Utopia" - EP Review

"Beautifully played and produced…Olya has been getting it right all throughout Utopia, but she truly rises to the top of her own achievements on this final song. “Ne Zrya / Не Зря” is another innovative melody that allows the mind to step right into Olya’s world and really experience the music as she’s envisioned it to be. With full creative-control of her sound, Olya has followed her incredible instincts right to the nth degree on this EP, and with an absolute blast of melodic, emotional-fireworks in her final song have certainly made her an artist I’ll remember completely."
