hemlocke springs is Isimeme 'Naomi' Udu - the first-generation American daughter of Nigerian parents, raised on the outskirts of Charlotte, NC. Having just completed a master's degree in medical informatics at Dartmouth earlier this year, Naomi is now staring at the possibility of an entirely surprising and major music career, based on a flawless series of intoxicating and idiosyncratic pop songs that have not only earned millions of streams but also the admiration of some of music's biggest names.

After North-Carolina artist hemlocke springs (aka Isimeme "Naomi" Udu) posted a TikTok that featured her dancing with awkward enthusiasm to her soon-to-be hit "Girlfriend," her profile rapidly skyrocketed. Her charming eccentricity and daydreamer persona positioned her as relatable enough for the average listener to buy into, but still strangely iconoclastic enough to be more than just another bedroom TikTok singer. She went on to release a slew of strong singles that evoked a wide range of genres: 2010s indie pop, the cyber-inflected funk of the 1980s Depeche Mode, the bouncing rhythms of Timbaland and The Neptunes, with her beloved Kate Bush at the helm as a huge musical inspiration. All of this culminated in a well-received EP 'going ... going ... GONE!' and a series of memorable music videos that developed springs's aesthetic of lovably twee chaos, establishing fans among the likes of Chappell Roan, Doja Cat (who she supported on DC's headline tour summer 24), Grimes, and Steve Lacy. hemlocke is currently in the studio working on her debut LP.
