Some artists wait decades for the breakthrough moment, and for others, everything seemingly happens overnight. For Audrey Nuna — the New Jersey-born artist whose music blends rap, pop, alternative and R&B — that coveted breakout moment came via a little movie called KPop Demon Hunters.
Nuna provided the singing voice of Mira, the rebellious main dancer of HUNTR/X, for the wildly successful animated film, which spawned a Billboard 200-topping soundtrack and numerous Billboard Hot 100 smashes, including the top 10 hit “How It’s Done” and the Grammy- and Oscar-winning chart-topper “Golden.” According to Luminate, “Golden” has collected over 971.8 million official on-demand U.S. streams, with the overall soundtrack — which has spent 54 weeks (and counting) at No. 1 on Top Soundtracks — boasting over 4 billion official streams.
The KPop Demon Hunters phenomenon whisked Nuna and fellow HUNTR/X singing voices EJAE and Rei Ami into a year-long whirlwind of late-night TV debuts, high-profile interviews, flashy photo shoots and a near-constant stream of performances. Now, Nuna is prioritizing recalibration; she’s not just aiming to merge her new fans with her existing supporters, but also re-aligning her understanding and appreciation for the craft of pop music.
