With the new year now underway, how has 2026 started for you Ihsa?

It’s started calm and focused, which I really appreciate. I’m spending a lot of time in the studio and trying to keep things simple, less pressure, more creativity.

Your single ‘Obscura’ was recently released on December 19th, how’s it going so far?

So far, really nice. The feedback feels genuine, and people seem to connect with the mood of the track, which is the most important thing for me.

Is AEVOLIA your own label?

AEVOLIA is a joint project between Amir Farhoodi and myself. We run it together—Amir mainly takes care of the administrative side, while I focus more on the creative direction.

Taken from your approaching album titled ‘Obscura’, what’s the meaning behind the name?

Obscura is about the hidden side of things—emotions, thoughts, moments that aren’t always clear or bright. That’s where a lot of the inspiration comes from.
