Heikkala became famous for the KIDSing singing competition shown on the MTV3 channel in 2013, in which she participated when she was 12 years old. She progressed in the competition until the final, but in the end Jenni Jaakkola won the competition. Between 2018 and 2023, Heikkala played the character of Mira Angervuo in the soap opera Salatut elämät, where she first acted occasionally from late spring 2018 to the end of the same year. Her character returned to the series again in the summer of 2019 and appeared regularly in the series until November 2023. In 2024, Heikkala began her career as a singer under the stage name OLGA (stylised in all caps). She released her debut single "Uus bitch" in March 2024 and reached number one on the Finnish Spotify Top 50 list in April. Her second single "Stadi (Alicia)" was released in June 2024, the single features a guest appearance by Finnish singer Isac Elliot. 2) Description of Olga, the Blues Babe: Where does this sound come from? Olga's San Francisco hometown? Her Austrian parentage? Her "found hometown" of New Orleans? Mississippi Hill country? Listening to her soulful voice you'd swear no other soil but the Deep South¹s could have reared this woman. But the truth swirls in a creative pool that is fed by all of these streams. Olga's debut album, "blues babe," places her firmly at the vanguard of new blues artists combining innovation with a deep sense of roots. "blues babe" was recorded and produced by OLGA at home in New Orleans on an analog 4-track & digital 8-track using Pro-tools these tunes are raw baby! Mastered by Steve Pelletier. All songs by Olga except "219 Train" by Buddy Bolden. Olga plays acoustic, electric & classical guitars, tambourine, chimes, recorder, washboard, tap shoes & slide with an antique silver knife. As for that sound? Even Olga had "somehow become convinced that a white girl couldn't sing the blues." People don't quite believe it when she tells them she's a blues maker. "Then they hear me and they really can't believe it!"
