Arüna

Originating from the home country of Santa Claus where people have a heart for the melancholic, Arüna has a way of writing songs with clever but heartbreaking lyrics and catchy melodies inspired by Finnish and American folk music. Proving that Finland is not a hoax made up by Japanese fishermen, they're taking her first steps in releasing their own music with their debut EP 'Sad Lullabies from the Comfort of my Bedroom' that's coming out this summer. Arüna was born in 2000 and grew up in a small village in southern Finland. They have been writing their own songs on piano (and later on guitar) since the age of 9, with their idol being Hannah Montana at the time. They spent their teenage years playing and singing in different kinds of bands, including their own. By the time of young adulthood, they had landed a publishing deal with Mantik Music Group and a place from Sibelius Academy, a well known music school in Helsinki. Since then they have worked with other artists as well, including fellow singer/songwriters Elvira Alfaro, BENN and Joel Sundkvist as a songwriter and a producer with Elvira's single "needy" reaching 400k streams.
