Vtuber Octavio Shares Insights on Music Career, Schedule, and New Projects in Exclusive Interview

Since debuting with Holostars English Armis in November 2023, Vtuber Octavio has released numerous tracks, including karaoke streams, official covers, and original songs—both solo and alongside members of Holostars, Hololive, and even other agencies like Nijisanji. Siliconera recently caught up with Octavio to discuss his latest projects and future plans.

Octavio’s Music-First Schedule and Work Routine

Jenni Lada from Siliconera asked Octavio about balancing his music releases with his standard streaming schedule, which includes games like Resident Evil Requiem and Dispatch. Octavio shared details about his structured yet unconventional routine:

I’ve been very hard at work on the music side for sure! My schedule is actually pretty sustainable, if a bit weird to some! I start my day at 4AM and end at 12PM. That means no more thinking about content creation from 12PM onwards. Then I sleep at around 8PM! So during my workday, I get as much music and homework done, and tasks my managers need me to complete like any recordings, progress on projects and whatnot, then stream for around 4 hours. If I’m not able to finish whatever it is I’m working on, then so be it. I continue on to the next day.

Since the start of 2024, Octavio has adopted a music and events-first approach, prioritizing his releases and major events while maintaining 3 to 4 variety streams per week, which he considers fan service rather than the core of his brand.

The Smooth Collaboration Behind ‘Jane Doe’ with Enna Alouette

One of Octavio’s biggest debuts in April 2024 was the duet ‘Jane Doe’ with Enna Alouette from Nijisanji EN. Octavio reflected on the collaboration process, which he initially expected to face challenges due to their different agencies:

I was expecting all sorts of challenges to get this thing off the ground but working with Enna Alouette and Nijisanji EN has been extremely smooth and Enna’s manager was also very supportive of our project. I was expecting all sorts of barriers maybe with permissions or song rights, but it felt like there were none at all. The only barrier was me mustering the courage to invite Enna to sing!

Encouraging Fan Participation Through Music Challenges

Octavio also launched a social media duel challenge inviting fans to sing along with him. He shared his surprise at the enthusiastic response, particularly from his followers, whom he calls his ‘poppets’:

Yes! One of the things I noted that my poppets enjoy doing is recording their voices singing with me whenever I do these challenges and many of them always wanted to sing, and so I consider this as me encouraging them! In my post, I made sure to tell them to sing absolutely any way they want.

Octavio’s approach highlights his commitment to fostering a supportive and interactive community around his music and content.
