Wasia Project
18th November 2024

As a project predicated on the unique creative chemistry between siblings, it feels apt that Will Gao and Olivia Hardy’s second EP is named Isotope. Two distinct branches of the same tree, as Wasia Project they’ve spent the last five years applying their classical training to wide-eyed jazz-pop, racking up tens of millions of streams, and securing US support dates with Laufey and a European arena tour with Tom Odell. Now they’re expanding their horizons even further, pairing their genre-bending pop with an impressive audio-visual concept.

“It’s about using this platform to merge our voices,” Olivia explains of the EP’s focus. “We’re filtering our experiences through the lens of a single character, in a very vulnerable and personal way.” In doing so, the London-based duo document a period of intense personal transformation, as they navigate the uncertain path not just from adolescence to adulthood, but from anonymity to acclaim. As Will puts it: “In the last three years, we’ve experienced more change than we have in our whole lives put together.”
