**Maria Burger** (born 22 October 1996), known professionally as **Oska** (stylized in all caps), is an Austrian singer and songwriter.

## Career

After graduating from high school, the then 18-year-old Oska went to [Vienna](/source/Vienna) to do street music. On her mother's advice, she also studied pop and jazz singing there.[1] In mid-2020, she signed her first record deal with the Canadian label [Nettwerk](/source/Nettwerk). With her debut EP "Honeymoon Phase" (2021), she won the "Best Sound" recording studio award at the [Amadeus Austrian Music Awards](/source/Amadeus_Austrian_Music_Awards) in April 2022. A few months earlier, she had released her debut album "My world, My love, Paris". She accompanied, among others, [Milow](/source/Milow), [Tom Odell](/source/Tom_Odell), Stu Larsen, [HAEVN](/source/Haevn) and [Matt Simons](/source/Matt_Simons) on tour.[2] In August 2024 she will appear as the opening act for [Coldplay](/source/Coldplay) in Vienna's [Ernst-Happel-Stadion](/source/Ernst-Happel-Stadion) for four days.[3]

## Personal life

Oska grew up with her four older siblings in [Rastenfeld](/source/Rastenfeld), [Lower Austria](/source/Lower_Austria) ([Krems-Land District](/source/Krems-Land_District)).[4] The inspiration for her stage name came from her eldest brother "Oskar", with whom she also wrote her first song.[5] She taught herself to play the guitar in her youth.[6]
