Viennese Indie-Pop singer/songwriter Oska has released her sophomore album, Refined Believer. Produced by David Kosten (Bat for Lashes, Marina Diamandis), Refined Believer explores themes of “trust, self-discovery, and quiet resilience.”

The release follows a year that included Oska’s debut at SXSW, support slots for Coldplay and Maggie Rogers, and a 2025 Amadeus Austrian Music Award.

Oska moved from a small village in Lower Austria to Vienna at the age of 18 to pursue music and began busking on the streets and in the squares of the capital while studying Pop and Jazz vocals. In 2020, she signed with Nettwerk and released her debut EP, Honeymoon Phase, the following year.

Oska’s 2022 debut album. My World, My Love, Paris, is a collection of songs “reflecting on family, youth, and the complexities of growing up.”

In addition to touring with Tom Odell, as well as labelmate Stu Larsen, Matt Simons, and HAEVN, she performed at Eurosonic in 2023, where she was honored with the Music Moves Europe Talent Award.
