After the release of her debut EP titled Vol. 1 on June 21, she has shown a drive to succeed like no other. As a leading voice in the Asian-American music community, a minority that she feels is very much lacking in representation. She is utilizing her own voice and talents in hopes her story as a Filipina-American artist will provide inspiration to others to pursue music and encourage the music industry to invest in opportunities that promote inclusivity for all minority groups.

Ready to roll out more heavy-hitting singles that touch on the complexity of life “New Bitch, Who Dis?” shows Cuja reclaiming the energy in her life and giving the middle finger to anyone who tries to stand in her way. Inspired by other girl-power artists such as Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa, Cuja has put her own spin on pop, creating a shimmery, electrified sound that serves as her authentic storytelling canvas of heartbreak, love, pleasure, and pain.

I was feeling like I needed to be heard and if people were uncomfortable or didn’t like it, that’s on them,” Cuja explains.

After finding herself shrouded by negative experiences in the music industry, this single is an ode to those that have done us wrong. She enlisted the help of two fellow powerful women, producer Alina Smith and artist/songwriter Elli Moore. Together they created an impassioned yet relatable song that highlights Cuja’s sultry vocals.
