NightPulse
The vision of singer, songwriter, producer, and renowned drummer Lena Zawaideh, NightPulse teeters between pop bliss and midnight emotionality. Growing up in San Diego, Lena traded piano for drums at the age of ten and devoted her middle school and high school years to playing in numerous bands. Just before she enrolled at UCLA in 2009, Lena joined Bad Things, eventually becoming both a songwriting force and co-vocalist for the group. The critically acclaimed quartet released its self-titled major label debut in 2014, performed on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, delivered a fiery headline set at Lollapalooza, and joined Phantogram and 30 Seconds To Mars on high-profile tours. As Bad Things disbanded during 2015, she immersed herself in writing and producing influenced by the likes of Banks, Grimes, and PVRIS. Stitching together dark electronic soundscapes and pop palatability, the songs unlock another side of Lena—an alter ego unafraid to confront depression, sexuality, and other stigmatized subjects shocked to life by the first single “Delirious.”
