ABout NÆ
““Since releasing the EP Implied Elegance in 2015 and relocating to Chicago in 2016, NÆ has kept a diligent stride in her ongoing aesthetic investigations. Her sonic and visual inquiry offers penetrating comment into the metamorphosis of middle America.””
Enter the captivating and clever world of NÆ, Chicago-based synth pop and electronic artist. Known for her high-energy live performances with bold visual props and sci-fi narratives, NÆ ignites her audiences with messages of inclusivity, self-expression, and finding one’s inner child. Her sharp wit and humor are balanced with levity, imagination, and a cosmic effervescence.
NÆ’s music satirizes the absurdities of American aspirational lifestyles – think unicorn parties, sugary coffee drinks, and sexting. Her debut album, Push Button Future, has been applauded as “a dance-pop confection with a biting edge, commenting on modern-day issues of consumerism, commercialism, and influencer culture,” by Scapi Magazine.
Producer, mixing engineer, and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Black performs with NÆ as Blizz, and is her core collaborator in the writing and recording process. Black’s production leans into both his sound design experience and jazz influence.
Hot off the heels of their recent performances at Andersonville Midsommarfest in Chicago, the Sound & Vision Synth Series in Rochester, NY, The Performing Arts Series at University of Minnesota Morris, House of Vans Chicago, and The 150 Media Stream in Chicago, NÆ and Blizz are working on the Orbital Ice Cream LP, to be released in 2025.
