Rebelling against the status quo is a tale as old as time. It's safe to say that we all have battled with unrealistic societal norms and expectations, fighting just to stay true to ourselves and be who we want to be. Sure, we all want to fit in and be accepted by those around us, but if the cost is losing ourselves in the process, then no thanks. Veda tackles this head on in her debut single, "Wannabe Me," expressing her desire to ignore all outside opinions and be herself to the fullest. The track's evocative lyrics show the artist questioning if she really must do what others expect when, in the end, she doesn't really care what they think or if she's the popular girl.
Exploring the heavier side of pop, Veda seamlessly blends elements of alt rock and indie pop in "Wannabe Me." The mid-tempo ballad showcases a powerful soundscape, featuring electrifying guitar riffs, driving drums, and impassioned melodies. Veda proves herself to be a powerhouse through her masterful performance, showing off her vocal prowess as she transitions between soft verses and belted choruses. Channeling a sound reminiscent of the pop/rock icons before her, Veda's "Wannabe Me" is perfect for fans of Avril Lavigne, Skillet, Olivia Rodrigo, and Amy Lee.
Kickstarting her music career at the young and impressive age of 13, Veda has already amassed quite the following in a short amount of time. The talented artist has established a global presence through her duet performances on TikTok with her dad, Bobby Amaru (frontman of Saliva), garnering over 240 million views in less than 6 months. Their duets feature the pair covering their favorite songs and have attracted the support of well-known artists like Skillet's John Cooper, Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, and Flyleaf's Lacey Sturm, effectively building momentum and setting the stage for Veda's music industry debut.
