Awkwafina

Awkwafina, born Nora Lum on June 2, 1988, in New York City, is a multifaceted talent whose creative repertoire spans music, comedy, and acting. She first garnered public attention through her viral rap song “My Vag” in 2012, a comedic piece that set the stage for her unique and unapologetic style. Awkwafina's music often blends humorous elements with biting social commentary, underscored by her distinctively raspy voice and unflinching honesty. As an artist, she has an eclectic discography that includes tracks like "NYC Bitche$", which revels in the vibrant energy of her hometown, and "Queef - Single," that showcases her irreverent sense of humor.

Her remarkable journey as a musician is highlighted by works such as "Yellow Ranger," her debut album that featured witty rhymes and audacious lyrics, and her 2018 EP “In Fina We Trust,” which saw her sharp wit and musical prowess earn critical praise. Beyond music, Awkwafina's talents have propelled her to considerable success in the acting world, but she remains true to her roots as reflected in her punchy track "Diva Kinda," the official theme for the Comedy Central series "Awkwafina is Nora From Queens," a semi-autobiographical show that speaks to the comedic and candid narratives that are hallmarks of her artistry. With her bold personality and multi-dimensional skillset, Awkwafina continues to break boundaries and redefine the potential of contemporary entertainers.
