ABOUT THE ARTIST
Biography
"I Turn Emotion, Power, and Magic into Sound"
The Art of Sonic Alchemy
Opāru is the sonic alter ego of Los Angeles-based artist Dianna St. Hilaire, delivering a spellbinding fusion of dark pop, cinematic soundscapes, and ethereal emotion. With haunting vocals and a visionary approach to songwriting, Opāru creates music that feels both otherworldly and deeply human—echoing themes of mysticism, transformation, and inner strength.
Her latest EP, “Play Your Cards Right” co-written and produced with Ian Cameron Dwyer, blends lush electronic textures with acoustic instrumentation, exploring powerful themes like magic, tarot, zodiac signs, and emotional alchemy. Each track is a journey through shadow and light, inviting listeners into a world where vulnerability becomes empowerment and melody becomes meditation.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Lana Del Rey, Ruelle, and M83, Opāru has carved out a unique space in the indie pop and cinematic electro-pop world. Dianna St. Hilaire is a prior GRAMMY® nominee and has been featured on GRAMMY® Award-Nominated Recordings. Her music has been in films and shows like Home & Away, Shark Tank, NBC News, and MotoAmerica.
With every release, Opāru offers more than just music—she offers a portal into the soul.
