Mo_Ve is the new project of Olga Move, who has seen success performing for millions around the world.
Hi Mo-Ve, please tell us a little about you?
Since I remember myself, I dreamt about a singing career.
I was born in Russia but my father was really in love with western musical culture, had many CDs, he really liked Jazz and funk music He guided me in this world and showed me all these amazing artists. When I was four years old, I was dancing with my father listening to Ella Fitzgerald, Luis Armstrong and other amazing musicians, I’ve been dreaming that one day I can become a singer too. I studied violin in musical school, then I had a long break with my music career and six years ago I created my own 10-piece jazz band in Moscow. We played over 800 concerts last year and we had an amazing China tour where we performed in front of millions of people and one of our performances aired on national TV. At the festival we played funk, fusion, soul and pop music. In this project I realized who I am on the stage, I realized that being on the stage is my happiness and I can impact people with my music. People loved our performances, felt my energy. I felt blessed and fortunate to perform on a stage like that and it really inspired me to create my original music.
Describe yourself in 3 words?
Strong woman, shining and sexy
Who has made the biggest impact on your life so far, and why?
It was my EX love. My relationship inspired me to write my first song. It was so emotional, and a feeling that I never before in my life had experienced. Before I met him, I’m singing songs and didn’t really feel but then I realized what it is to be crazy in love, feel like you’re dying because somebody left you. He left me twice, he was making me the happiest girl in the world and then made me hurt, I was suffering a lot. But even with all of this crying and awful emotions I really appreciated that I became thoughtful and more sensitive.
How did you get started in the business?
To be a recording artist was my biggest dream. But I needed help, so it’s my girl, she is my closest friend, she is a vocal coach and an amazing singer and actually my vocal producer, she showed me this recording world. She helped me to step up to my biggest dream, guided me in this LA music industry with the best songwriters and producers.
My previous dream was to be on a stage and I reached it with my own Jazz band. I was lead vocal and producer. I organized on my own, over 800 concerts, making videos, costumes. It began six years ago and many of the shows were massive including shows with a dancer, big brass section, etc. It was a great experience but COVID 19 totally ruined this business for now. But now my priority is to push my original music and touch people with my own songs.
Did you go to music school?
Yes, since I was 4 years old, I was playing violin. Actually, it was because of my mum, I really didn’t like it, for me it was always so boring and I can’t realize being a little girl, why I need to be in this school instead of playing on the ground with other children in a garden. So, I feel thankful for force of my mum, that always push me, and I finally finished this school and just after this I realized that it was amazing. And actually, it was a thing that identified my future and musical career.
Describe your sound in 3 words?
It’s fresh, energized and confident
Who influenced you and why did you choose to make music?
It was my father, he showed me at a very young age amazing Jazz artists. He had many CDs that he got around the world. Even when my mom was pregnant with me, he would put to her belly his record player with this amazing music. That’s why I’m so addicted to being a singer, to be on the stage and to make music. I was listening it since I was embryo)))
Do you ever get nervous?
Not really, I think it’s very bad for your health and for your mental being.
What is your next goal as a musician?
New amazing songs, great videos and a Grammy of course.
More honest stories that could be shared with an audience and inspire them to be who they really are.
Now tell us about your new single “Sexy Talk?”
It’s a really honest and a true story about my love and about my feelings. It was a distant relationship and it was such a deep passionate and unique connection. All that we had was our phone calls and chats. I needed his sexy talks, photos even if all was virtually. This electricity was so real It’s amazing, difficult to imagine. I wasn’t afraid that it didn’t have a future, because we are living in different countries. This song is about a girl who isn’t afraid of her feelings, what she really wants, etc. She just wants to be in the moment and see the joy. It’s about to be honest to yourself 100%, and about a woman’s sexuality without any doubts.
