Oska

Maria Burger (born 22 October 1996), known professionally as Oska (stylized in all caps), is an Austrian singer and songwriter.

Career After graduating from high school, the then 18-year-old Oska went to Vienna to do street music. On her mother's advice, she also studied pop and jazz singing there. In mid-2020, she signed her first record deal with the Canadian label Nettwerk. With her debut EP "Honeymoon Phase" (2021), she won the "Best Sound" recording studio award at the Amadeus Austrian Music Awards in April 2022. A few months earlier, she had released her debut album "My world, My love, Paris". She accompanied, among others, Milow, Tom Odell, Stu Larsen, HAEVN and Matt Simons on tour. In August 2024 she will appear as the opening act for Coldplay in Vienna's Ernst-Happel-Stadion for four days.

Personal life Oska grew up with her four older siblings in Rastenfeld, Lower Austria (Krems-Land District). The inspiration for her stage name came from her eldest brother "Oskar", with whom she also wrote her first song. She taught herself to play the guitar in her youth.
