Aubory Bugg has inked with Dualtone Records.

An Illinois native, Bugg began performing at a young age. In 2024, she began posting covers on Tiktok and garnered over 110,000 new followers from a viral cover of Reneé Rapp’s “Tummy Hurts.” Now based in Nashville, Bugg has earned over 187k TikTok followers and is currently on tour with Courtney Marie Andrews. She makes her label debut today with the release of new single “i think i had something once.”

“Aubory is so immensely gifted in her songwriting and vocal abilities, and her work ethic is like nothing I’ve ever seen,” shares Whitaker Elledge, President of Dualtone Records. “She walked into the Dualtone office with an acoustic guitar and played two songs — it was like a bygone era of the record business — Rachel [Wein], Daniel [Higbee] and I looked at each other said ‘we’ve got to work with her.’ We are the lucky ones to have crossed paths with a preternatural talent like Aubory, and we’re thrilled to partner up on this exciting new chapter.”

“Aubory is the full package,” adds Wein. “She is a skilled vocalist, a seasoned live player, and an incredible storyteller. Aubory moves with a quiet confidence that feels rare to witness in someone so young. She is a student of her craft and genuine talent. We couldn’t be happier to welcome Aubory into this next era of Dualtone Records.”

Bugg is represented by agents Brian Greenwood, Cal Rawlings, Summer Marshall and Beth Morton of CAA. She is managed by James Delgado and Conor ODonohoe of Full Circle Management, and Doug Hall of Big Feat PR serves as her publicist.

“We’re ecstatic to have found a label home for Aubory as passionate and daring as Dualtone,” says Delgado. “Aubory is a generational songwriter, and we believe Dualtone is best-in-class not only at breaking artists, but at building long, storied careers.”
