Baltimore musician Eyas (Jenna Balderson) discusses her genre-blending debut EP 'Quiet-loud,' merging indie-pop, jazz, RnB, and folk.
In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I sit down with Jenna Balderson, better known as Eyas, a Filipina musician and producer based in Baltimore, MD. Known for her genre-blending sound that merges indie-pop, jazz, RnB, and folk, Jenna discusses the journey behind her debut EP, Quiet-loud, set for release on November 22nd.
We explore how her music transforms personal emotions into art, creating what she describes as the "sonic equivalent of a collage." Jenna also shares stories about her inspirations—from Fleet Foxes and Björk to recent influences like Saya Gray—and opens up about collaborating with fellow Baltimore artists like JPEGMAFIA and Micah E. Wood. Plus, she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at Quiet-loud, a deeply personal EP featuring introspective lyrics, dynamic soundscapes, and a mix of high energy and reflective moments.
Join us as we unpack the emotions, influences, and community connections that shape Jenna's music.
📅 Quiet-loud is out November 22nd.
