Audrey Nuna, the New Jersey-born artist whose music blends rap, pop, alternative, and R&B, is ready to reintroduce herself to the world after her breakthrough moment with the KPop Demon Hunters phenomenon. This experience taught her the importance of structure and the right answer in the creative process, and how to merge her new fans with her existing supporters.
Nuna's last pre-KPop Demon Hunters project, Trench, was quite different from the smash soundtrack's punchy, sugary pop. Now, she's signed to Republic Records and launching her new era with "SuperHuman," a high-octane, dance-infused rap banger that brings her back to the gritty, rap-forward energy of her earlier work.
In this interview, Nuna discusses her festival sets, which include a lot of breathing new life into her older catalog, and her creative process post-KPop Demon Hunters. She talks about how she's trying to graduate from artistry that's all about her feelings to artistry that actually moves people, and how she's finding a balance between her true sound and the energy billions of fans connected to via her Mira singing voice.
Nuna also shares her thoughts on the new project, which she wants to sound as human as possible, and how she's investing in her music by trying different studios and analog gear. She discusses the importance of rest and how she needs her alone time to recharge.
Overall, Nuna's journey from a 19-year-old making alternative music to a successful artist with a unique sound is an inspiring one, and her willingness to experiment and grow as an artist is a testament to her dedication and passion.
