everything i did last week as an independent artist ✷
— worked on the EP again (slowly becoming my entire personality)
— finally got my piano + all my stuff back from Berlin !!
— went to the hospital because i sprained my finger from practicing bolton pushes too much 😭 apparently being delusional about upper body strength has consequences
— enjoyed the sun + spring finally arriving for may 1st
— flew to Barcelona for a few days
— trying to stay grounded even though life feels very up & down lately… lots of uncertainty, lots of overthinking, lots of “trust the process” moments
— kept practicing for my concert next weekend in Berlin
— spent time with friends in Barcelona & went dancing last night <3
a messy little week full of music, stress, healing, friends, movement & trying my best
follow along for more 💫
Really happy to share my new hybrid set for @tsugiradio
It’s now live 😍 link in bio + story.
This one feels extra special, as it’s the first time I’m playing some unreleased tracks from my upcoming project dropping next month 👀
Big thanks to @grooverobsessions and @tsugiradio , @remi_erreip for the invite 🤍
Sharing a few snippets here…
and can’t wait to show you what’s next.
More soon ✨
Last stretch before finishing my first EP… been locked in on Ableton all week 🎧
Also built my very first hybrid set, and wow, that was a challenge. I’ve always made music to perform myself, never really thinking about how it would live inside a DJ set. So figuring out how my tracks could coexist with others? Not easy at all.
But honestly, super eye-opening. It helped me understand where I sit in the electronic music spectrum and discover what kind of artists and sounds actually resonate with my own work.
After a lot of trial and error… I made it happen. Played the set on @tsugiradio , it’ll be out next weekend 🫶
Outside of that: celebrating friends’ wins (especially women 💫), because it matters. Lifting each other up matters. Every small success deserves to be seen, yours and theirs.
And of course… good Indian food, long walks, and a bit of breathing in between it all. 🌬️
How was your week? 🥰💫

this one is about stopping to chase what’s not meant for you
and recognizing the moment something finally feels right
feel like myself out now
3rd single from my EP (June 2026)
It’s actually one of my favorite 🤩
Big thanks to all the team for your work 🤍🤍

The last few days were a specials..
I Finished my residency at the end of March with a live show 🖤
Then I came back to the city, packed up my life, sold a bunch of things and left Berlin for a bit…onto something new.
Just arrived in Paris for a few months, taking it step by step, building a new space, adapting, seeing friends and also taking some time to rest.
Spring feels like the right time for a fresh start. Right?
Still making music, finishing my EP, preparing some upcoming gig, just from a different place now.
So curious to see where it leads me!
Love,
Audae
calypso - behind the scenes ✨
slide 1
first images we shot with @dieweiterenaussichten during my bauhaus residency
just trying things, figuring it out as we went
shot on iphone, edited by me very DIY 🙈
slides 2–5
this is @durbuymusic
this view really stayed with me
the river, the calm… it’s where the song started
i’ve always felt really connected to water
i grew up around rivers, so it just feels familiar 🌿
slide 6
back in berlin recording the vocals
all the soft, airy layers in the background
i always end up adding a lot of those
i just love how they feel
i think Aurora definitely has something to do with it 🫧
slide 7
a waterfall from a trip to slovenia last summer
places like this always feel a bit unreal to me
like there’s something more going on
something calm but powerful at the same time
water really opens up my imagination
it’s a big part of how i create
slides 8–11
behind the scenes from the video
it’s about a woman slowly finding her way out
getting closer to nature, feeling more free
and the pedestal… playing with the idea of being seen as something still, almost like an object
last slide
and me… doing content with toilet paper 🤣🙈
thank you for being here 🤍
calypso is yours
M a r c h ✨
march felt full in so many ways 🤍
i had the chance to play several shows, including one in mallorca, was so special (thanks @naua_music )
but if i’m honest, it also came with a lot of doubts. moments where i felt a bit lost, like being in between waves
spring is finally here though, and with it… a sense that things are shifting 🌱
change is coming, and i’m really looking forward to what’s next
thank you for being here 🫶
Things I did this week as an independent artist 🎶
– finished my next single (finally… feels good to close that chapter)
– practiced piano, trying to stay consistent even on low-energy days
– had my first performance coaching session (!!)
and honestly it helped a lot, as an introvert, being on stage can feel a bit overwhelming sometimes, but having real tools makes it way less scary. I already feel a difference
– ate Turkish food (very important to keep some balance)
It was also a bit of a tough week… I’ve been getting a lot of rejections lately (around 20–30), and even if I try not to take it personally, it can still get to you sometimes.
But I still showed up and played a gig, and that felt really good. Being able to apply what I learned right away and actually notice small improvements made everything feel a bit more worth it.
just taking it step by step, learning as I go 🤍
Calyspo started during a women’s writing residency. At @durbuymusic
We spent a few days writing, sharing stories and making music together.
The song became a reminder for myself and for other women:
you’re not too much, you’re not too loud.
Take the space. Take the sea.
💫🤍
