Mondo.NYC 2026 Showcase Artist


Bade
New York
Moving fluidly between Turkish and English, Bade’s music pushes boundaries, forming a borderless sound that feels intimate yet expansive. Rooted in personal experience and shaped by a cross-cultural perspective, her sound carries traditional elements, reimagined through a contemporary lens.
Born and raised in Ankara, Türkiye, Bade began her musical journey by releasing songs from home during the pandemic, later collaborating with Kenan Doğulu on her self-titled debut EP in 2022. She continues to expand her sound with “300 Texts,” the first single from her EP Divane, released in spring 2026.
Currently based between New York and İstanbul, Bade’s artistry is driven by a desire to bring people together through music. Through bilingual storytelling and emotionally resonant sound, she shows that language is not a barrier but a bridge and a way for listeners from different backgrounds to connect through shared emotion.
