Braeden, also known as NORA, is a 24-year-old mixed-race artist hailing from Toronto. His eclectic musical style captivates listeners, seamlessly blending elements of punk rock, post-punk, shoegaze, post-rock, soft grunge, and surf rock. NORA’s debut EP, Strange to Bloom, has earned more than 500,000 streams to date.

In collaboration with BIG KILL’s Cayne McKenzie and Andrew Huckaliak (both formerly We Are The City), new single “Natural Disaster” liberates the rebellious spirit within NORA. 

He explains: When I’m on stage and feel the crowd’s energy building as they connect with a song inspired by a former coworker’s attempt to undermine me with the same words now fueling the audience’s excitement, it’s an incredibly empowering moment. It’s a visceral ‘fuck you’ to anyone who’s ever tried to put me down or make me feel less than my worth.
