Rising Stars: Meet Ganae Osorio of Utah

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ganae Osorio.

Ganae, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I always had a deep passion for music and remember singing disney songs around the piano with my family. Dance was a huge part of my life as well and when I entered my adolescence, music saved me as I struggled with mental illness. I began writing songs as a form of expression and coping and it turned into music degree from UVU. After working in sync licensing and as a singer for various projects, including Disney, HGTV, Hallmark, and ESPN, I’ve decided to pursue my original music and develop myself as a pop artist.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has been an unexpected journey. To be honest, I think I’ve had more confidence in myself as a singer for other people’s projects than for my personal music. There has always been an underlying question – would my voice and music, the songs I truly want to write, sing, and share, be enough for others? I think I’m still exploring the answer to that question, but I’m not longer afraid to try. It takes courage to be seen and I’m done holding myself back due to fear of the possibility of others seeing me fail. I have music to create and share, a community to love and who loves me, and I feel hopeful. It sounds a little morbid, but i often think about the fact that one day, i will die, and I want to make sure I do right by myself before I go by pursuing what matters to me, regardless of the judgment from others. I’ve learned, especially in the musical era that I am in (the Bad Girl Era), that other people’s judgments and hurtful comments are actually just a reflection of them and where they’re at in life. I actually feel bad for them. How sad to use their energy to tear others down rather than create something to build us all up.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a singer-songwriter, who goes by Ganae, who is processing different emotions through different genres of music. I am calling this the Journey of the Goddess as I develop my personal style of Goddess Pop. Here is a little blurb ChatGPT and I wrote that I’ve been using as a bio when needed.

Ganae is a goddess in transition—an artist creating music for every version of womanhood. Her sound moves through worlds: from the authentic ache of acoustic R&B to cinematic hip-hop and bold pop anthems. She calls her evolving sound **Goddess Pop**, blending pop, R&B, hip-hop, and world influences with lush vocals, groove, and an often darker atmosphere. Each project marks a new chapter in the transformation of a wounded woman into an empowered goddess.

Her journey began with *Personal*—the Sad Girl album—where raw emotion met acoustic guitar and cinematic strings. The next chapter, *Feral*—the Mad Girl album—dives into unapologetic rage and self-empowerment through hip-hop beats and heavy-hitting production. From there, the story continues into the **Bad Girl Era**, her current chapter, where Ganae is exploring her love for hip-hop-inspired beats, introducing themes of self-worth and personal value, and incorporating more of her pop experience. Two more eras will follow, continuing the goddess’s transformation into new emotional and musical landscapes.

Vocally, Ganae draws inspiration from artists like Ariana Grande and Lizzy McAlpine, layering lush harmonies and blending tenderness with power while carrying deep emotion in every line. Her production leans into mainstream pop with R&B vocals, hip-hop influence, and world instrumentation inspired by her international upbringing.

At the heart of it all, Ganae’s music gives women permission to feel everything. Grief, anger, rebellion, joy, love—it’s all part of the goddess journey. She wants her listeners to walk away feeling seen, radiant, and powerful.

**This is a journey of transformation: moving from sadness to empowerment, and discovering the goddess within every version of yourself.**

I am most proud when someone can feel validated and valued. My goal is to awaken everyone to their inner worth as well as validate their human experience. We heal from pain by holding space for it, validating it, and then letting it go. I hope my music helps people to do that.

What does success mean to you?
Success is developing a community of people that feel safe to be themselves, feel their emotions, and glow up into their happiest selves. My goal is to awaken people to a knowledge of their worth and value. That they are divine and important as their authentic selves. If I develop a community of people who feel this through my music and we enjoy my music together, I would have achieved my life’s dream.
