Steppin' X Amarte: Olivia Fay

In November, Studio Hidden Gem in Amsterdam will host ten exclusive live recording sessions, organised by Steppin' Into Tomorrow and made possible in part by Amarte. Through the Steppin' X Amarte open call, ten promising musicians and bands were selected, each performing an intimate live show with an audience, captured in a professional video recording.

Olivia Fay is a singer and songwriter from Amsterdam. Together with her producer Gilberto of Juke, she is working on an EP titled From Circumstances to Chronicles, in which situations from her life are transformed into dreamy stories about, among other things, love, freedom, and womanhood. The productions are inspired by Motown, (neo-)soul, and hip-hop, and feature plenty of choir vocals, earworms, brass, and strings, giving the entire EP a distinctive, recognizable sound.

The live sessions will take place on the following dates:

• Saturday, November 5, 7:30 PM: Jaydian Daniel

• Friday, November 6, 7:30 PM: Jèryh Luz

• Saturday, November 7, 7:30 PM: SMANDEM.
