Trippin' On Daydreams

More Than We Were

I'm so excited to release my 3rd single 'Keep It Going'

Keep It Going

Strawberry Chapstick

The Woods

Indestructible

Velvet couches and crystals on your nightside table
They try and kick us to the curb but we just don't budge because we're not able
Is it the way that we glow when the light hits us sweetly
Are you threatened by how we are living so happily
Does it really change a thing

Imagine when I grow up I could love her like him
Imagine when the world stops hovering over my shoulders maybe I could give her a kiss
My childhood thoughts make me sad nowadays
My childhood thoughts make me sad nowadays

Rights of passage and mom reading your diaries on Christmas morning
They try and take away our ways
But we are breathing every day
Is it the way that we glow when the light hits us sweetly
Are you threatened by how we are living so happily
Does it really change a thing

Imagine when I grow up I could love her like him
Imagine when the world stops hovering over my shoulders maybe I can give her a kiss
My childhood thoughts make me sad nowadays
My childhood thoughts make me sad nowadays

Imagine growing up in a world
Where we can just love thy neighbor
Imagine when the world stops hovering

I hope my child grows up in a world that I could only ever imagine

Childhood Thoughts

If this song were a person, she’d be 5'3", goddam pretty, and dragging you off your bar stool by the hair for touching her woman. WOMAN is the first in a 4-part series from queer alt-pop/rock artist Oriana Nash — made for jealous lovers, NYC club girls and sassy femmes. The 

Woman

Oriana Nash first realised the power of story-telling through music when in 2nd Grade she saw a school performance of Phantom Of The Opera.  The eeriness of the musical and the feeling of being a little bit scared thrilled her and dug deep into this 7 year old’s psyche.  She embraced fear as a positive emotion and the experience led to childhood dreams of being on Broadway.  However, at 14, she started making music with a rapper friend at school and it was then that Oriana realised that she wanted to connect with people using her own songs.

Oriana did indeed find her people when she attended Pride Festival in New York in the Summer of 2020.  She says:  “It was one of the coolest, most beautiful experiences of my life – there was absolutely no hate and people of all kinds were so filled with joy you could feel it in the air.  I just couldn’t stop dancing and smiling the entire time.” 

Oriana’s own musical heroes are diverse - Billie, Miley, Demi, Lana and early Gaga are obvious icons of her time, but she also loves Queen and The Beatles, Amy Winehouse and rappers like Young M.A, A$AP Rocky and M.I.A.

In early 2021, Oriana got to work on fine tuning songs for her debut album and started recording at Outer Reach Studio in Miami.  The writing process she says, is like therapy for her.  Inspired by personal challenges, she feels that putting something into a song purges whatever situation she’s going through.  “Ultimately I want to help people feel good about themselves and give them something to dance to.” she says.
