Although her career in the music industry isn’t as lucrative as that of the film industry, Awkwafina has frequently expressed her desire to continue making music and has performed live at music events and festivals several times. Her most recent live music appearance was as a special guest at the 2024 KCON Los Angeles.
“I don’t make a significant amount of money off music downloads,” Awkwafina told WealthSimple in 2017, “I only make between $400 and $800 a month from all of the online platforms that sell my music: iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, everything.”
Since she’s mostly focused on her Hollywood career, that figure wouldn’t have changed much in recent years.
