Early life and career
editRaised in suburban Manalapan, 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 Tennis when she was ten.[7] 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 releasing 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.[8] She issued a ten-track project of previous singles and new tracks in 2021 named ‘A Liquid Breakfast’.

When I ask why it's called a project rather than an EP, Audrey's answer is conclusive. "I decided to call it a project because it didn't really feel like an album to me. It's a weird mix of different sounds and feelings. This feels more like an introductory piece, a way of saying 'hi' to everybody."
