Quick Facts Background information, Birth name ...

Early life and career

Raised in suburban Manalapan, New Jersey, Audrey Nuna – known first professionally as Audrey – started making music in her teens covering artists from Childish Gambino to Drake and uploading the videos to combat the boredom of her hometown. Her first experience singing for a big crowd was performing ‘America the Beautiful’ at the US Open Tennis when she was ten.[7] Producer– and future manager – Anwar Sawyer contacted her after seeing her Instagram covers while she attended the Clive Davis Institute in Brooklyn. In 2018 she began releasing independent tracks. After producing three striking ballads, the confident sound of “Honeypot” showcased her musical versatility as a multi-genre artist. In 2019, after releasing two more singles, Sony Arista Records – coincidentally the record company that was founded by her university—signed her to the label. She made her label debut with her single “Time”, then “Paper”, and her assertive collaboration with Jack Harlow in “Comic Sans”. She changed her stage name to Audrey Nuna. After the name change, in 2020, she released more singles alongside “damn Right” and its DJ Snake-assisted sequel.[8] She issued a ten-track project of previous singles and new tracks in 2021 named ‘A Liquid Breakfast’.

"I decided to call it a project because it didn't really feel like an album to me. It's a weird mix of different sounds and feelings. This feels more like an introductory piece, a way of saying 'hi' to everybody."
