FM4 Soundpark is a web platform, community, and radio show for and with Austrian musicians. In an ongoing collaboration, FM4’s team recommends particular artists of the moment to amplify. Today, the honor goes to: Filiah.
Austrian singer-songwriter Filiah, featured in FM4’s “Pleased to meet you” series, opens up about her journey through self-doubt, creative burnout, and rediscovery. After a three-year hiatus from her solo project, she returned with the single “Atlas,” marking a new chapter of emotional honesty and artistic freedom. Filiah discusses the pressures of perfectionism, her evolving songwriting process—often sparked by everyday moments like riding Vienna’s U6 subway—and her desire to create music that resonates deeply with listeners. Her latest single, “On&On,” explores themes of empathy and emotional boundaries. Looking ahead, Filiah aspires to continue making music that offers comfort and connection, with hopes of touring widely and supporting her band with fair compensation.
