This week Quia is speaking with artist Persephone on her new song, cosplay, be bullied, adapting to Japan culture, and so much more.
Persephone, the dynamic alter ego of 19-year-old Olivia Millin, is gearing up to make a profound impact on the music scene with her forthcoming JPop single, "Be With Me." Originating her artistic journey at the age of 7, Olivia's remarkable talent earned her the prestigious Jimmy Award in 2023, solidifying her position as Florida's top-performing artist in the Broadway scene.
Embarking on a daring venture into a new musical genre, Persephone signifies not only a musical transformation but a cultural celebration. Fluent in Japanese after three years of dedicated study and an immersive trip to Japan, Olivia seamlessly blends her love for JPop with her innate knack for crafting infectious and original melodies. Persephone aims to embody the cuteness, originality, and energy synonymous with Japanese culture, aspiring to cultivate an American appreciation for JPop and its traditions.
Driven by a personal connection to her mission, Persephone, who endured childhood bullying and wore a scoliosis brace, is on a mission to empower young individuals to embrace their uniqueness and find value in their differences. While the lyrics of "Be With Me" may not unfold a detailed narrative, the accompanying video intricately tells the story of Persephone, a JPop idol navigating the challenges of maintaining anonymity as a student. Battling bullying at school, she discovers solace in the acceptance of a boy who sees her for her authentic self.
The narrative takes a twist when her primary tormentor, also the object of her affection, uncovers her true identity after a concert. In a poignant moment, Persephone chooses genuine love over fleeting admiration. Featuring audience interaction, dynamic dance routines with accompanying dancers, and captivating backdrops portraying her as an anime character, Persephone envisions bridging the cultural gap between American and JPop traditions while radiating cuteness, sweetness, and irresistible charm.
Inspired by the likes of Yoasobi, Iris, Atarashii Gakkou, and members of Wake-up Girls, Persephone's unique journey is further shaped by her experiences of rejection, echoing the transformative power of music in her life. Olivia acknowledges the influence of Lady Gaga, recognizing a shared journey of breaking molds and embracing uniqueness.
To promote her music, Persephone strategically submitted "Be With Me" to various curator hubs, garnering significant accolades. Her approach reflects a commitment to authenticity and a genuine connection with her audience. As Persephone makes her debut on the JPop scene, Olivia Millin extends an invitation to join her on a musical journey that transcends entertainment, fostering a sense of belonging, empowerment, and cultural appreciation.
