Quannnic is the name used by Florida musician Nick Quan, whose intense productions utilize elements of shoegaze, lo-fi, noise, and electronic bedroom pop. An early signee of deadAir Records, he began releasing music in 2021, building up a cache of underground singles ahead of his 2022 debut album, Kenopsia. The song "Life Imitates Life" went viral and entered Billboard's Hot Hard Rock Songs chart a year later. Quannnic's second album, Stepdream, was released in November 2023.
