Angelica Olstad

Join Austin Williams and Angelica Olstad as they talk about her fourth debut album American. In this album Olstad explores what it means to be an American as a mixed race Chinese individual that grew up in rural Colorado in the 90’s and now lives in New York City. This album touches on topics ranging from racial discrimination, old music tastes that continue to influence her works, gun violence in America and so much more. Olstad slaps the listeners in the face with nostalgia by using old recordings from her youth including some of the very first recordings of her playing piano. Angelica Olstad opens the conversation for other AAPI individuals for them to have a piece to identify and relate with.
