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.”
