Ichiko Aoba
Singer-songwriter Ichiko Aoba’s mysterious modern folk music transports her audiences to ethereal dreamscapes they never want to leave.
Throughout her childhood, Japanese folk musician Ichiko Aoba was fascinated by the fantasy worlds created by Studio Ghibli and Disney. Years later, she invites her audiences to follow her down the rabbit hole to listen to her carefully curated and dreamy soundworlds.
With her seventh studio album, Windswept Adan, Aoba creates a ‘hypnotising shroud that makes you feel like she’s performing for you alone’ (Financial Times). The singer-songwriter takes inspiration from jazz, folk and impressionistic classical music to create her enchanting and unique sound. Ichiko Aoba spirits her audience away with her ‘subtle command of magic’ (New Yorker).
Ichiko Aoba’s greatest strength is her ability to create pockets of intimacy.
