Asha Catherine Nandy (born December 2002), known by the stage name Yunè Pinku, is an Irish musician whose work blends garage with other forms of electronic music.
[5] She was predominantly raised by her mother, who was chairman of the St Patrick's Festival in Trafalgar Square, and growing up, she would spend a quarter of each year in Cork in Ireland.
[7] Nandy played the piano as a child, although her first proper musical experiments were conducted as a teenager after her cousin sent her a blank website with production software on it, on which she initially made bedroom pop.
[6] After Bluff was released, she took a five month break from writing, after finding the number of eyes on her stifling; the next two songs she wrote were written on the same day while suffering from allergic rhinitis.
She also used the interview to note that her earliest work was influenced by Clairo and then by Bladee and Drain Gang, and that she was currently taking inspiration from the "boundary-pushing artists" Sassy 009 and Eartheater;[3] she discovered the latter through her 2019 album Trinity after leaving her Spotify account running in the background,[13] and later noted in a January 2023 interview with Mixmag that she had been introduced to electronic music by the likes of Kelly Lee Owens and Ross from Friends, as well by artists she did not initially realise produced electronic music, such as Grimes.
