With a whisper/husky voice blending with dreamy electric guitar sounds, Marina Yozora captivates 3-4 minutes of your time to a vast place.
She is a dream pop, indie pop, shoegazey singer-songwriter, born in Japan, but also spent her childhood in Houston Texas and Ho Chi Minh.
Her love for music started in her father’s car, where she listened to 1980s~2010s pops, indies, and alternative music, through CDs and radios with her family. Having a cross-cultural life, music was one of the things that made her very connected to herself and others. As she grew, it soon became a passion to compose songs and sing. Songs were like artworks for her, or paintings. She has now landed her influences to dream pop, shoegaze, bedroom pop, indie pop, indie folk, and alternative music, and yet to grow.
Following her guts, she traveled to London with her guitar, where she had the opportunity to record her very 1st release. Watermelon Pink Blue Skies, caught the mixing engineer’s attention. It’s a captivating track with a fluidic arrangement, inventive instrumentation, seraphic vocals and a pulverulent quality to be loved. One described there’s a great potential to create a very unique musical identity for herself. The song also made its way to KEXP Pacific Notions.
She plans to record a couple more songs and visit LA this year, perform back in Tokyo, and move her base location to London this summer.
