Sumie, whose real name is Sandra Sumie Nagano, is a Swedish singer-songwriter known for her ethereal and minimalist approach to music. Born in Gothenburg, Sweden, Sumie comes from a creative family background that has undoubtedly influenced her artistic journey. Her sister Yukimi Nagano leads the renowned electronic band Little Dragon, hinting at the rich musical milieu from which Sumie emerged. Despite this, Sumie charts her path, crafting a sound that leans more towards the serene and introspective, starkly different from her sister's electronic ventures.

Her music, characterized by its delicate simplicity and emotional depth, often features just her voice accompanied by an acoustic guitar, creating an intimate and evocative sound. Sumie's discography, including tracks like "Mirou," "Moon," and "Lost in Light," showcases her ability to weave melancholic melodies with thoughtful lyrics, inviting listeners into contemplative spaces. Albums such as her self-titled debut in 2013 made it clear that Sumie’s artistry pivots on the power of subtlety and quiet introspection, a theme that continues to evolve in her more recent releases like "Fortune" and "Leave Me." With each song and album, Sumie solidifies her place in the music world as a purveyor of beauty in simplicity, appealing to those who find solace in the softer, quieter corners of the acoustic and folk genres.
