No matter how depressed and isolated we may have felt over the past year at the state of the world, there’s still every now and then, a beam of light that shines down and reminds us that things aren’t so bad. One such beam of light is new indie rocker Oceanator, also known as Elise Okusami. The New York native has been a talented and dedicated musician from the age of nine, and she even got her brother involved when they formed their own band, back when Elise was still only in the 4th grade. Since that time, she’s hardly had a moment to slow down. Oceanator’s unique indie-rock, grunge-pop sound has consistently been deeply moving and challenges just about everything.
