Pronoun

What once seemed like a fever to Vellturo has evolved into a nearly a decade journey and a full fledged career as PRONOUN. Started back in 2015 in the corner of her Bushwick apartment, Vellturo was struck with sudden heartbreak, deeming the creation of PRONOUN and her debut EP the only thing that kept her from destroying herself. 

Following the viral success of her debut track “a million other things” (written, recorded, performed, and produced by Vellturo alone) came There’s no one new around you EP (2016); four tracks of heartbreak, hope, anger, and every emotion in between. PRONOUN went on to perform at SXSW 2017 (NPR naming her one of the 100 acts to see) and got to work on recording her debut album in that year. 

Buzz maintained and she landed opening spots for the likes of Turnover, Citizen, Justin Courtney Pierre, and The Wonder Years.

In 2019 she returned with i’ll show you stronger an album full of blitzed guitars, anthemic synths, and drums so big they could fill an arena. With puck up from The New York Times, Pitchfork, Stereogum, and many more; Vellturo had a story yearning to be told. She toured that album with Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties as well as Jimmy Eat World.

After attending Berklee College of Music; dual majoring in music production and engineering as well as music business, Vellturo found herself at crossroads around graduation as production / creation was what truly brought her happiness, she did not feel she had the talents to pursue it full time. She landed a job in the industry side, where she remains to this day as a label manager at a large independent music distributor.

Another two year hiatus led us to Vellturo’s sophomore EP, OMG A MADE IT, which explores the complexities of navigating intrusive thoughts of depression and apathetic existence. The lead single “I WANNA DIE BUT I CAN’T (CUZ I GOTTA KEEP LIVING) was named one of Billboard’s top songs of 2021. 

But…she’s back and more PRONOUN-y than ever with a new track “SLAP ME IN THE FACE”; inspired by a fun night in with someone where temporarily all the lows in her life didn’t exist. It poised the question, what if the world was literally fucking you, what would that be like.
