EMI MARIA is a Japanese singer-songwriter and producer who’s become a go-to artist for breezy, sun-soaked vibes blending city pop nostalgia with modern R&B grooves. Rising to prominence in the mid-2010s, she carved out a space with her airy vocals and collaborations, often teaming up with producers like CHICO CARLITO and seiji oda to craft tracks that feel like eternal summer drives. Her recent work—like the laid-back *SUMMER VARIETY PACK* series or collabs with JASMINE and DADA—doubles down on her knack for chillwave beats and playful lyrics about love, weather, and carefree moments. While she keeps her personal life low-key, her music’s effortless blend of retro synths and contemporary cool has earned her a dedicated following both in Japan and among global city pop revivalists.
