About Kenshi Yonezu
Artist Biography
Emerging from Japan’s Vocaloid scene in 2012, Kenshi Yonezu is among the most eclectic creators in modern J-pop, thanks to his use of skittery electronic elements alongside arena-ready rock melodies. His 2020 album STRAY SHEEP flexed his range considerably, dabbling in supple electro-funk alongside throwback R&B and brassy jazz flourishes. While he has proven himself to be a smooth operator indeed when the music calls for it, Yonezu also nails brasher performances across 2024’s LOST CORNER, adding to the sense that every hairpin turn will take him—and us—into striking new territory.
