BY BRENESSA ROACH | FEBRUARY 21, 2025
Talyana is a California-based pop artist known for blending different elements to create a unique sound that defines her music. She made her debut on January 8, 2018 with the single “Gone” and has been actively releasing music since.
On February 21, 2025, Talyana kicked off the year with her new single, “nightfall.exe”. Beyond The Beat had the opportunity to interview Talyana about the song, musical journey, and more.
1. Can you introduce yourself?
Talyana: Hello! My name is Talyana and I am a pop artist based in California.
2. How did your musical journey begin?
Talyana: My musical journey began when I was 6 years old singing in musicals for my local homeschool group. From a very young age, I always knew music was what I wanted to pursue, even if I didn’t know exactly what that entailed yet, that very passion is what pushed me to continue my music journey and create incredible art along the way.
3. Congratulations on the release of your new single “nightfall.exe”, which just came out, can you talk about the meaning behind it and the writing process?
Talyana: Thank you so much! This song is inspired by anime dating simulator games where the singer essentially is the virtual character that falls in love with the person playing the game. The writing process honestly was both fast and slow. I wrote most of the song almost half a year ago, even recorded some of the vocals, but scrapped it cause I was getting too in my head. Then I recently revisited this record with the idea to glitch out the chorus rather than sing the same line the way I did before, which gave the song a whole new life and writing the rest of it felt effortless.
4. This is a specific Beyond The Beat question we ask every artist, but if you were to describe “Nightfall” as a colour, what would you choose and why?
Talyana: If I could describe “nightfall.exe” as a colour, it would be a bright pink, because of its blend of girly pop vibes and bold lyricism.
5. How did you find your sound in general? We really love your mix of pop and EDM.
Talyana: Thank you so much! Honestly, finding my sound has been a long journey. I believe our music is a reflection of ourselves, and I think it wasn’t until I truly started letting myself live my life and explore without worrying about what other people think, that I started to find my sound.
6. Through your music, what do you want your listeners to feel/take away from it?
Talyana: The main thing I want my listeners to take away from my music is that you can create worlds and capture single moments in time through music.
7. And if you could recommend one song from your discography to first time listeners, what would it be?
Talyana: For first time listeners, I would recommend “nightfall.exe” as it is the start to the direction I am going towards in my music moving forward!
8. Without giving away too much details, what are your goals and future plans for 2025?
Talyana: My goals and future plans for 2025 are to take new risks and explore even more music styles as I continue to craft my signature sound as a pop artist.
9. Is there anything else you would like to add?
Talyana: Yes! I recently started a YouTube series called, “How To Build A Popstar”(Channel name is the same) talking about stuff I’ve learned while on my musical journey and bringing my fans along for the ride as I pursue this career myself! So please feel free to check it out if you’d like!
“nightfall.exe” by Talyana is out now, so make sure to listen to it!
