MUNA

About

MUNA isn’t just a band; they're a lifeline forged in the crucible of shared vulnerability. This Los Angeles trio—Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson—craft anthems of queer joy and resilience, delivered with a potent blend of synth-pop sheen and raw emotional honesty. Drawing inspiration from the confessional intimacy of Robyn and the stadium-sized ambitions of The Killers, MUNA's music vibrates with a bittersweet energy that resonates deeply with a devoted fanbase. Emerging from USC's songwriting program, MUNA quickly gained traction with early singles like "I Know a Place," an ode to safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community. Their debut album, *About U* (2017), established their signature sound: soaring melodies underpinned by introspective lyrics. Breakthrough success followed with their critically acclaimed sophomore effort, *Saves the World* (2019), leading to a major label signing with Phoebe Bridgers' Saddest Factory Records. Beyond the music, MUNA's influence lies in their unapologetic authenticity and vocal advocacy. They have become a vital voice for queer representation in pop music, fostering a community built on empathy and self-acceptance. Their collaboration with Bridgers on "Silk Chiffon," a euphoric celebration of queer love, cemented their status as cultural touchstones. Their self-titled third album (2022) further refined their signature sound and saw them reach new heights. Currently, the band continues to tour and captivate audiences worldwide with their electrifying live performances and deeply personal songwriting.
