Nuna, 26, was born in New Jersey to Korean immigrant parents. She began making music as a teenager and had an Instagram page where she uploaded videos of herself in the bathtub playing keyboard and doing covers of artists like Childish Gambino or rewriting Drake’s verses. Those videos caught the eye of producer Anwar Sawyer, who was signed to Roc Nation and became her manager.

While enrolled at the renowned Clive Davis Institute at New York University, Nuna balanced her studies with late-night studio sessions at Sawyer’s place, often taking early morning buses back to campus to get some sleep before class. Ultimately, she decided to drop out and fully focus on her music, independently releasing tracks such as “80 deg, Honeypot” in 2018 to launch her career.

She’s a rapper who has released two albums
