Brother-sister duo Wasia Project on the making of their new EP ‘Isotope’ | Reset

Siblings Olivia Hardy and Will Gao didn’t always know making music together was in the cards. “I feel like the process was pretty organic,” Hardy said. “There was never like a, ‘Today marks the beginning of everything.’” But even so, music has always been a big part of their lives. Gao recalls there always being music playing in their childhood whether it was on the CD player or the radio. The two have gone on to form the band Wasia Project. They’ve released a handful of singles and EPs and toured with the likes of Grammy-award winning jazz singer Laufey and artist Tom Odell. The duo dropped their latest EP ‘Isotope’ in August featuring tracks like ‘Is This What Love Is?’ and ‘Somebody Come Through.’ --- WBEZ’s Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons is your forum for the Chicago conversation.
