Audrey Chu (born April 2, 1999), known by her stage name Audrey Nuna, is an American singer and rapper.[1] She is best known for her singles "Damn Right" and "Comic Sans" (featuring Jack Harlow).[2] She was born and raised in New Jersey,[3] and studied in the Clive Davis Music Institute of New York University for her freshman year, but has since taken a break to focus on music.[4] Her songs have been described as pop, R&B, rap and trap.[5] She is also known for providing the singing voice for the character Mira in the Sony Pictures Animation film KPop Demon Hunters. "Golden", one of the songs she co-performed for the film, topped the Billboard Hot 100 as well as charts in several other countries.

Early life and career

Raised in Manalapan Township, New Jersey, Audrey Nuna – known first professionally as Audrey – started making music in her teens uploading covers. Her first experience singing for a large crowd was performing "America the Beautiful" at the US Open when she was ten.[6] While attending the Clive Davis Institute in Brooklyn, she was contacted by producer and future manager Anwar Sawyer, who saw her Instagram covers. In 2018, she began releasing independent tracks. In 2019, after she released two more singles, Sony Arista Records signed her to the label. She made her label debut with her singles "Time", "Paper", and a collaboration with Jack Harlow in "Comic Sans".

In 2020, she changed her stage name to Audrey Nuna and released more singles, including "damn Right" and "damn Right Pt. 2" with DJ Snake.[7] The next year, she issued a ten-track project of previous singles and new tracks named A Liquid Breakfast. In 2024, she released her debut album, Trench.

Nuna is slated to perform at the 1 March opening ceremony for the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup at Perth Stadium in Australia,[8] then at halftime of the first game.[9]

This feels more like an introductory piece, a way of saying 'hi' to everybody.'
