Dallas Indie-Pop Singer Alex O'aiza Wants To Be Part of a Bigger Story

Alex O’aiza is all too familiar with the ways of the independent artist. In addition to putting out addictive indie-pop tracks with a special brand of rawness found through his therapy sessions, he’s been hard at work at his day job in Denton, working to fund his musical endeavors. His latest is “Let You Go,” a breezy, self-aware breakup track, with a dazzling pink music video filmed in collaboration with Irving’s Coffee Pot studios.

In the song’s accompanying visual, O’aiza is seen waking up with a feeling of unease before dancing the pain away in his apartment, rocking a pink shirt and turning on the TV to see himself performing in front of a pink background. Perhaps this is a callback to the music that made O’aiza fall in love with the art in the first place. He lived in Mexico between the ages of 5 and 8, when he often listened to Julieta Venegas and Sin Bandera.

One of the first songs O’aiza wrote was called “Heaven.” He lay down the bones of the song when he was 15 years old and revisited it many times over the course of 10 years.Last year, while in Los Angeles in studio sessions with producers and songwriters Jojo Centineo and Santiago Holder, O'aiza came across skeletons of the song in his hard drive.

Outside of music, O’aiza is passionate about social causes. He has long been open about his father’s deportation journey and is also a proponent of affordable healthcare. O’aiza knows firsthand about the importance of good mental health.“I’ve made fairly major breakthroughs, where I'm understanding now where the core of my insecurities are,” O’aiza says.

In July, he was in Los Angeles to work on tracks with CJ “SPCMN” Serrato. Plus, he’s been keeping up with TikTok trends, going hard with promos for “Let You Go.”
