Gifts From The Sirens — Gala Violet
Role: Album Art, Lyricist, Vocals, Percussion, Co-Composition, Creative Direction
Gifts From The Sirens is the debut album by Gala Violet, born from writing prompts that blossomed into stories, then lyrics, then fully realized songs. I provided lyrics, vocals, and percussive elements, while also collaborating on the composition and arrangement of tracks — shaping soundscapes that move between dream-pop, cabaret noir, and experimental textures.
Beyond the music, I created the album artwork and visual branding to carry the record’s mythic tone. Every piece — from cover design to supporting visuals — echoes the central theme: voices rising from the deep, half-warning, half-seducing, a diary of worlds imagined and reclaimed.
The album is both personal and collective: a tapestry of memory, myth, and collaboration, woven into one body of work under Velvet Umbrella Records.
