Audrey Nuna

New Jersey native Audrey Nuna moves with ease between tender R&B ballads and boastful rap tracks. The singer, rapper, and songwriter made her commercial debut in 2018 and inked a major-label deal the next year. "A Liquid Breakfast," her first full-length, landed in 2021.

Nuna, born Audrey Chu and known first professionally as simply Audrey, started making music in high school, uploading cover versions to Instagram. While attending the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music in Brooklyn, she connected with producer Anwar Sawyer, who also became her manager. Her initial commercial singles were independently issued in 2018, starting with a trio of distinct ballads before she first displayed her capacity for nonchalant swagger on "Honeypot." After two more singles in 2019, she signed with Arista (coincidentally the label Clive Davis founded in 1974 and ran until 2000) and made her major-label debut that year with "Time," followed by "Paper" and the brash Jack Harlow collaboration "Comic Sans." Changing her stage name to Audrey Nuna, she released in 2020 another handful of singles including "Damn Right" and its DJ Snake-assisted sequel. A ten-track combination of previous singles and new tracks was issued in May 2021 as "A Liquid Breakfast." That December, "Damn Right" was heard in an episode of Insecure. Nuna then prepared a 17-cut deluxe version of A Liquid Breakfast, released in January 2022.
