About Auni

A Los Angeles native, Auni's enchanting voice and soulful melodies wend their way into listeners' hearts and heads, offering a haven of calm in today’s fast-paced world. Her uniquely textured, colorful soundscapes create emotional backdrops that elevate the stories they tell.

Raised on Bach and The Beatles, she spent summers learning operas by heart and figuring out the inner workings of a four-track tape deck so she could harmonize with herself. Her versatile vocal range and love of dramatic tension initially led her to train as a classical singer, but when she found herself improvising more often than practicing, she realized that composition was in her future. She began writing folk songs and formed a string-based acoustic ensemble that has played in some of Southern California's most prestigious folk venues. Their intriguing live appeal is built on their vibrant onstage interaction and Auni's intricate arrangements. She self-produced a debut EP and subsequently developed a close collaboration with director David S. Marfield on several music videos, including 2017's "The River," which swept the film festival circuit and garnered multiple awards for its haunting, timeless rendition of a story of escape and transcendence.

In working so intimately at the intersection of image and sound, she also discovered a passion for film scoring. Her string arrangements have bloomed into full-fledged orchestral scores with an avant-garde rock and bluegrass sensibility. In 2022, she wrote additional score for Paramount action flick Run & Gun.

Her sleeper hit "Twinkling Lights" has been featured by everyone from celebrities and food bloggers to the President of the United States on social media, in over 2 million reels that continue to connect her with new audiences. In December 2023, she released an accompanying EP, full of whimsical arrangements of her original holiday tunes. In addition to several singles, she is currently finishing a full-length folk album that is slated for a 2025 release.
