Alemeda
Raised between Ethiopia and Arizona as the eldest daughter of an East African family, Alemeda turned music into her lifeline, transforming personal truths into fearless anthems. With Doechii and Rachel Chinouriri in her corner, she's taken 2025 by storm, performing at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Rock en Seine (Paris), All Points East, All Things Go, Austin City Limits, and Camp Flog Gnaw.
Calling on her pop, rock, and indie sensibilities, this self-proclaimed "cat mom" creates music as a form of self-expression and empowerment. She first turned heads with her 2021 UK garage single "Gonna Bleach My Eyebrows," which has over 14 million streams. Her 2024 debut EP FK IT let listeners further into Alemeda's world with her unflinching storytelling and has given us one of the most fearless artists in music. Known for her candid lyricism and creative production, Alemeda has earned critical acclaim, opening slots for Halsey, Rachel Chinouriri. As noted by Complex, "As a Black woman who proudly embraces alternative sensibilities, she's challenging stereotypes and creating space for more diverse representations in rock and alternative music...Alemeda is a rock star on the rise."
