Nū is an Ethiopian-Australian sound artist, vocalist and live coder* whose work blends non-Western musical traditions, improvisation and Afrofuturism. Using the live coding program Sonic Pi and her vocals, she creates immersive sonic worlds, weaving elements from ambient, jazz, R&B and electronic music.
She has played sold-out shows across Melbourne/Naarm, supported HTRK and Floodlights, and featured at festivals including ArtsHouse BLEED, A3, and Sonder Music Festival. In 2024, she toured Asia with performances in Kuala Lumpur and at the International Conference for Live Coding in Shanghai. Following the release of her debut EP TECHNIFRO-185 (via Highly Contagious Records), she embarked on an international tour across Sydney/Eora, New York, London, Brighton, Berlin, and Hobart for Dark Mofo.
Nū has since performed at Phoenix Central Park’s Season XVII, the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, and Hopkins Creek Music Festival.
