Nettwerk is excited to announce the arrival of ILUKA, the Australian-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter alt-pop darling. In the last year, ILUKA’S career has taken off with a string of viral songs that have quickly landed her a cult following. Her signature style comes with raspy vocals — a hint of cowgirl twang belted over pop anthems shaken together to make her own unique musical cocktail. Today, ILUKA is excited to share her latest single, “Woman Gone Mad,” an anthem that dives into themes of resistance, strength, and solidarity while she navigates the current state of the world as well as dealing with the grief of the Los Angeles fires aftermath that ravaged her own neighborhood of Altadena.
ILUKA shares ‘‘Woman Gone Mad,” is a song for the insane times we’re currently living through. While oligarchy and fascism seem to be the new reality as weak men in power become more unhinged, I think music, art, and community are what’ll save us. My neighborhood of Altadena in Los Angeles was burned to the ground, and there’s also this element of grief in the song… watching the billionaires continue to get richer as our planet and home is literally on fire.”
ABOUT ILUKA:
Raised on a farm in the Blue Mountains of Australia, ILUKA learned the craft of song and soul from her father, a skilled luthier. His handmade guitars were more than instruments—they were the foundation of her sonic journey. From the start, ILUKA has been driven by a singular vision to create brave music. Her songs are both vulnerable in their storytelling and memorable in their protest. With features in Rolling Stone, FLAUNT Magazine, and NME, ILUKA’s impact is just beginning, but if she has anything to say about it, she’ll be a force that’s here to stay.
