NoSo is the moniker of LA-based singer, songwriter, and producer Baek Hwong. Blending shimmering arrangements with unflinching introspection, Hwong crafts music that explores gender, identity, and intimacy with rare emotional clarity. Their 2025 sophomore album When Are You Leaving? follows the critically acclaimed debut Stay Proud of Me and marks a shift from daydream to reality—chronicling post-transition life, platonic heartbreak, and quiet victories with wit and vulnerability. A guitar virtuoso with a background in songwriting from USC’s Thornton School of Music, Hwong weaves sonic influences from new wave to experimental house into deeply personal, genre-blurring songs.
