Career

Naomi McPherson co-founded the indie pop band MUNA in 2013 while studying at the University of Southern California. The trio—McPherson on guitar, synth, production, and vocals, alongside Katie Gavin and Josette Maskin—initially experimented with different styles before settling into a distinctive dark-pop sound.

Their early self-released material and the 2016 Loudspeaker EP led to a deal with RCA Records. McPherson produced much of the band’s work from the start, shaping their polished yet emotionally raw aesthetic.

MUNA released their debut album About U in 2017, followed by Saves the World in 2019. Both records earned critical praise for their honest songwriting about relationships, identity, and vulnerability. After parting ways with RCA during the pandemic, the band signed with Phoebe Bridgers‘ Saddest Factory Records.

Their self-titled 2022 album marked a creative high point, featuring the viral single Silk Chiffon with Bridgers and cementing their status as queer pop icons. McPherson‘s production and multi-instrumental contributions remained central to the group’s sound.

In subsequent years MUNA continued to tour extensively, including support slots for major artists, and released their fourth album Dancing on the Wall in 2026. McPherson has also produced tracks for other artists such as Maren Morris and contributed to soundtracks.

Beyond music, they appeared as Janis Ian in the film Saturday Night (2024) and have taken on additional soundtrack and performance credits. Their career reflects a consistent evolution from college collaboration to established indie-pop force while maintaining creative control and authentic representation.
