Musical artist
Ugnė Dominaitė, also known by her stage name DJ Nevykele (stylized in lowercase), is a Lithuanian music performer and songwriter.
Her recorded track "aerobika" became a major internet hit. In January 2023, Nevykele won at the 2022 M.A.M.A. awards by winning the Breakthrough of the Year statue.[1]
Early life
In an interview, the performer stated that she had been interested in music since childhood and attended a music school. In 2020, she began learning and creating electronic music on a computer.[citation needed]
Career
In February 2022, Nevykele released her first song, "dreineris konteineris esi", on SoundCloud.[2] On June 5 of the same year, she released "aerobika" on the same platform. This track gained popularity on TikTok as a soundtrack and became one of the most listened-to tracks in Lithuania. The hit remained on Spotify's top charts for a long time,[3] and as of January 2024, it has been streamed 5 million times on Spotify alone. Another highly popular track released by Nevykele was "aš tavo lovoj, o tu lolą kapoji", which surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify.
Following the M.A.M.A. awards in 2023, Nevykele recorded her first album titled "OŽKA", featuring ten tracks. It was released on June 5 of the same year.[4]
On January 27, 2023, a music video for "aerobika", directed by Domas Merkliopas, was released.[5]
On February 23, 2023, she released a track titled "Fake" in collaboration with the rock band Jautì. The track was partially inspired by the hyperpop genre, similar to Nevykele's own work. However, they decided to combine elements of this genre with heavy guitars and dissonant melodies.[6]
To promote the album "OŽKA," Nevykele held concerts in Vilnius, Klaipėda, and Kaunas.[7] She also participated in Jautì's album launch concert.
