Guitar in hand, urika’s bedroom moved to Los Angeles in 2018 and began playing in various genre-fluid bands, leading to fruitful creative relationships and producing for like-minded artists such as untitled (halo) and Ded Hyatt. In fall of 2023, ub invited audiences into an intimate artistic space with “Junkie” – a “glowing, tender debut” (Gorilla vs. Bear) that “sliced through the digital realm with the essence of existence” (FLAUNT). Shortly after the release, urika played live for the first time supporting Youth Lagoon and will embark on a tour with Nourished by Time this summer.
