Hemlocke Springs had no idea any of this would occur. She may be the most improbable next music star. She had just continued her education at Dartmouth, an Ivy League school in New Hampshire, where she was working on a master's in medical informatics. She assumed that after graduating, she would work in a lab before pursuing her PhD.
The musician, whose true name is Isimeme Naomi Udu, acknowledges that she wasn't always musically inclined. Hemlocke had always dreamed of being a doctor, whereas her brother was a former band member who now works as a SoundCloud producer. She grew up in North Carolina listening to her parents' Christian music at home before becoming interested in EDM and K-pop in middle school. She became "hyperfixated" with GarageBand during her time in college and started making DIY pop songs for fun. She would post songs on SoundCloud, then quickly remove them. She finally felt secure enough to leave them up. A few random individuals on SoundCloud responded favorably to the first uploads, but the snappy, silly, '80s-inspired hit "gimme all ur luv" was different. Similar to the previous songs, the song's internet existence began with a few comments but nothing unusual. She opted to share it on TikTok in addition to leaving it up on SoundCloud.
Things immediately got out of hand. Within months, streams surpassed the millions, social media followers skyrocketed and today Hemlocke Springs is enjoying experiences that are typically only available to a select group of talented musicians. These include meetings with major record labels, encounters with well-known musicians who she once admired and coverage from prestigious publications like Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and NME..
