Ep 508 - Olithea Anglin: IT'S CALLED GROWTH

The Artist Pivot

I talked to the creative human known as Olithea Anglin and I wanted to share some takeaways from our conversation. First up, there are so many ways to feel artistically full, so don’t pigeonhole yourself to one thing, and give yourself grace when you’ve grown out of something that used to fill you artistically but doesn’t anymore. Second, learning how to give yourself permission sooner so that your next artistic move doesn’t come out of frustration, but comes from a space of following your intuition. Third, sometimes you gotta break the rules. Learn the rules so you can break them, within reason of course, but creatively break the rules.

Fresh from her Carnegie Hall Debut with the world renowned Burnt Sugar Arkestra, Miss Olithea is a native New Yorker that has been singing since the age of three. By the age of 18 years old, She has performed at every major concert hall in NYC. She attended The Hartt School and received her BFA in musical theater. Olithea is grateful for the opportunity she has had to perform in various theater productions all over the country. After the passing of her father, Olithea changed gears and decided to start writing her own music. She has come out with 2 EP’s Long Day’s Journey (2016) and To Be Seen And Heard (2017). Since those releases, Olithea has deepened her practice in meditation and experimental music. With the use of vocal loops, fx, and sound bowls she channels spirit that calms the heart, and eases the mind. In 2022 She released Cosmic Church, a live meditation EPMiss Olithea also is a voice teacher and in November 2020 she started her own private studio The Vocal Journey. Olithea finds true delight training singers in evidence-based techniques for a lifetime of healthy singing.
