Aimi

Aimi is a Japanese indie R&B singer-songwriter based in Tokyo, known for her smooth blend of 90s and 2000s R&B influences mixed with contemporary vibes. She entered the music industry around age 18 and spent years finding her unique voice while navigating the challenges of being an independent artist. Rediscovering her passion for R&B just before the pandemic, she was inspired by artists like H.E.R., Jhene Aiko, and Summer Walker. This led her to embrace singing R&B in English, a style that her producer Shingo.S encouraged, helping her craft a distinctive sound that connects deeply with listeners.

Distinct from other artists named Aimi, this singer-songwriter’s journey is marked by resilience and a heartfelt connection to her music, often reflecting personal growth and emotional storytelling in her releases. She has steadily gained recognition with songs like "Love It, Hate It" and "Hard Habit to Break," building a solid fanbase both in Japan and internationally through her soulful and modern approach to R&B.
