Known for her diary-like confessional songwriting style and mesmerizing vocals, Lora Mouna is a Syrian American artist based in Brooklyn who uses music as a vessel to capture moments of vulnerability within herself and her relationships. Holding an unapologetic mirror to her inner world, her music finds beauty in the uncomfortable, the vulnerable, and the parts of herself that are hardest to confront. Flowing between alt-rock, shoegaze, and middle eastern music, Lora intertwines the different sonic experiences from her culture and inspirations. 

Originally from Winston-Salem, NC, Lora grew up listening to her mother sing and play piano, planting the seeds for a lifelong passion for music. In 2025, she made her festival debut and independently released her first EP, phases of becoming, an unfiltered exploration of identity, mental health, and the never ending process of becoming new versions of yourself. Since then, she's hit the road supporting JHARIAH on his Northeast tour, taking the stage at venues including NYC's iconic Bowery Ballroom.

Now, Lora is pushing the boundaries of her sound, finding new ways to make the emotions behind her music feel tangible. Her latest single, The Difference, embodies this approach, building from quiet restraint into an explosive wall of sound that captures the disorienting experience of dissociation. Praised by Stereogum, Ladygunn, Atwood Magazine, and more, the release arrived alongside her first music video, which she wrote, directed, and edited herself. With more music on the horizon, Lora continues to build a world where emotional vulnerability and sonic unpredictability collide, luring listeners into a space that feels deeply familiar and sweetly cathartic.
