AUDREY NUNA

1 upcoming festival →

Sludgy, low-slung R&B where the rapping and the singing keep swapping places mid-verse — New Jersey cool with an experimentalist's disregard for genre lines.

AUDREY NUNA is a Korean American singer and rapper who grew up in New Jersey and began releasing music in the late 2010s. She moves between rapping and singing within the same verse, usually over slow, bass-heavy productions that draw on alternative R&B and hip-hop without settling firmly in either. Her delivery tends toward the deadpan and unhurried, with melodies that arrive sideways rather than on the obvious beat. She has released a mixtape and further projects, and has collaborated with other artists working in the same loosely defined alternative R&B space.
