Alemeda

Calling on her pop, rock, and indie sensibilities, alt-pop artist Alemeda channels self-discovery and emotional honesty into her music. The 25-year-old Ethiopian-Sudanese singer-songwriter and producer first made waves with her 2021 single “Gonna Bleach My Eyebrows,” currently streamed over 14 million times. On her 2024 debut EP FK IT, she expanded into alt-pop-rock territory, blending genre fluidity with raw, unfiltered storytelling, earning her critical acclaim and tour slots with Rachel Chinouriri and Halsey.

Raised between Ethiopia and Arizona in a strict household that forbade contemporary music, Alemeda’s unconventional upbringing fueled her fierce creative independence. Her new project, But What the Hell Do I Know?(out November 7 via Top Dawg/Warner), explores growth, vulnerability, and self-empowerment through head-banging pop-punk, soulful ballads, and genre-defying experimentation. From friendship and family struggles to love and self-realization, Alemeda’s music reflects the messy, enlightening journey of her twenties; unafraid to question, to feel, and to evolve. As put by The Fader, “Pop rock's latest starlet is Alemeda who's set to become her label TDE's first capital-R Rockstar.”
