Audrey Nuna Talks ‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ Mira, “Golden,” and Her Album 'TRENCH'

KPop Demon Hunters is Netflix’s most popular film EVER! We welcomed New Jersey-born Korean singer and rapper AUDREY NUNA to the studio for the first time… and also just happens to be the singing voice of kick-ass, flame-haired demon hunter Mira. We find out how she got the role, what the recording process was like, her bonds with fellow demon hunter vocalists, Ejae and Rae Ami — also solo artists in their own right — and how she’s processing the cultural and commercial phenomenon she’s now a part of.

We also dig into her journey to be a solo star, growing up as one of the few Korean-Americans in her town, her connection to K-pop (Wonder Girls, BIGBANG), and heading to New York City to study at the Clive Davis Institute, ultimately following her dreams and releasing two killer records — a liquid breakfast and TRENCH — collections that seamlessly blend hip-hop, silky R&B, trap, and future-pop.

Plus how she was on Jack Harlow way before he popped off (check their 2021 track ‘Comic Sans’), and collabed with Teezo Touchdown. We dig into her philanthropic work with regards to education equity, notions of belonging and expectation, particularly being a Korean-American woman and as it relates to KPop Demon Hunters. Will there be a sequel? A tour? Watch and see…
