Olga Korsak is a Latvian-born, Toronto-based singer/songwriter, actress and former Olympic figure skater. Korsak’s promising figure skating career was cut short at 17, when she suffered a back injury during the World Championship. After a lengthy recovery, she discovered a love of music and started to teach herself piano and take vocal lessons, eventually writing her own songs.

Feeling the new for new challenges, Korsak relocated to Toronto in 2010. She developed her solo recording project LIVVA, which gained recognition with her self-released debut 2014’s Behind Closed Doors, which sold over 10,000 copies in Canada. 2018’s This is LIVVA EP featured “Minusx2,” which amassed over 80,000 Spotify streams and 280,000 YouTube views. The EP’s second single “You” received a Notable Best New Artist Award nomination.

Korsak starred in the 2020 film Petrichor, which featured a soundtrack written by her. The movie premiered at the Moscow Film Festival and received Best Original Song at the Venice Film Awards, Tracks Music Awards, and American Golden Picture International Film Festival. Building upon that momentum, 2021’s “Love Me Until I’m Me Again” amassed over 200,000 combined streams on all DSPs — within two months of its release.

“I Don’t Wanna Be You Anymore” quickly amassed 140,000 streams on all DSPs within the first two months of its release. Built around an eerily sparse production featuring twinkling keys, skittering beats and atmospheric electronics paired with the Latvian-Canadian artist’s sultry and self-assured pop star delivery expressing self-loathing, despair and the awareness that she constantly self-sabotages. It’s psychologically precise, lived-in lyricism paired with a slick and darkly seductive production.

“The song is written about difficulty to be your own friend sometimes. I keep sabotaging myself and I don’t know why. I know I’m not alone on this,” the Latvian-born, Canadian-based artist explains.
