Having racked up press plaudits and acclaim from the likes of The Line Of Best Fit, TMRW Magazine, Wonderland, Notion, 1883 Magazine, Earmilk and more for her first three singles, self-taught producer Veronica D’Souza is proving, step-by-step, that she has an important place in the world of music. Her non-linear approach to life, growing as a creative through many different experiences and areas reflects in her music, which eschews real genre categorization and carries deep and meaningful messages for change.

Veronica D’Souza instils the kind of bold boundary pushing, soul stirring conscious essence into her music that was the driving force when she founded groundbreaking organization CARCEL (2016-2021), a Danish fashion brand that partnered with women in prisons in Peru and Thailand and when she co-founded Ruby Cup, a sustainable menstrual health solution for women and girls living in poverty in Africa.

Today, Veronica is an advisor, board member at The Soulfuls and The Danish Design Council, a speaker, and a creator who continues to explore new, meaningful projects alongside her music. Her latest offering, ‘Canary Song’ is a feminist anthem about waking up to your own power. It speaks to the invisible cages women are born into — built from expectations, and internalized roles. But when those start to crack, something shifts. In the free fall, you hear your own beat. You find your band. ‘Canary Song’, which was produced by Veronica and mixed by Jorge Elbrecht (Sky Ferreira, Caroline Polachek and Weyes Blood), celebrates the beauty of reclaiming your voice, your beat, and the radical joy of choosing yourself.

Veronica D’ Souza wrote ‘Canary Song’ for herself but also for every woman who’s had to drum her own rhythm and keep going. With powerful beats at the forefront, as soul-penetrating vocals build with hymn-like layered harmonies, the track is a reminder that even from the back seat, you can take the wheel. And that even in the fall, you can begin again — on your own terms, in your own power.

The video for the track seeks to illustrate these sentiments too. In a world of constant external expectations — of performing, pleasing, and living up to ideas of what a woman should be — the ‘Canary Song’ video is a quiet, simple rebellion. It doesn’t beg for attention — it holds its own. In an age of overproduction and algorithm-approved perfection, Veronica D’Souza does the opposite: she walks into a rehearsal room, sits behind a drum kit, and plays the song through. Just her body, her beat, and the sound of a woman owning her rhythm — fully, freely, for herself.

“I just wanted to do something real,” she says. “To feel my strength in my body. To play for no one but me. The drums are so physical — they strip everything else away and turn the gaze inwards. There’s so much power and freedom in that. That’s what I wanted to portray. And just have fun with it.”

The video is a tribute to that kind of strength — the kind it takes to keep going, to hold your rhythm no matter what, and to live life entirely on your own terms. There is deep feminist power in that: In stripping off the layers and choosing yourself — without apology. ‘Canary Song’ is protest music for the soft revolution — a slow-burning, beat-driven meditation on strength, resilience, and the quiet rebellion of choosing yourself. It’s about reclaiming vulnerability as a form of power and falling as a way to finally fly.
