Buick Audra is a Grammy Award-winning musician, songwriter, and producer living in Nashville, TN. Her new album, ADULT CHILD, releasing on June 13, 2025, is a concept record about identity, estrangement, and trying to outrun one’s lineage. Audra acted as writer and producer on the project, building ADULT CHILD across sessions at two Nashville locations: Sound Emporium Studio A, and her own Fort Knockout Studio. She is joined by Jerry Roe, Lex Price, and Kris Donegan on six of the tracks, and applies a more scaled-back approach on the other three. Her longtime collaborator Kurt Ballou (Converge) mixed the album, and Brad Boatright mastered. The title references a shorthand term Audra has long used to denote her personal background. The nine-track body of work allows listeners into her world of squaring off with self-doubt, wondering if repeating familial patterns is inevitable, and navigating relationships outside of the family structure that mirror familiar dynamics. The lead singles have received praise for the self-aware songwriting, soulful performances, and decisive production.

Alongside her solo work, she is the guitarist, vocalist, and primary songwriter in the melodic heavy duo, Friendship Commanders. She has collaborated with musicians across several genres including Joss Stone and skate-punk pioneers McRad. She also writes with and for other artists.
