クリエイティブレーベルw.a.uのR&Bシンガー。 ダンサーとしての活動経験によって幼少期からATCQやMobb Deep、Soulquariansなどの90年代ヒップホップ/R&Bを中心に様々なブラックミュージックに影響を受ける。力が抜けつつも独特の太さを持った歌声を有しており、時にラップもこなすような高いポテンシャルも兼ね備える、日本では稀有な本格派R&Bシンガーである。自身の音源をリリースする前からw.a.uのバンドセットですでに黒田卓也、鋭児、 さらさ、VivaOla、Wez Atlasなど第一線のアーティスト達と共演を果たし、2nd Singleとしてリリースした'Do The Thing'はクラブバンガーとして国内外問わず多くのDJによってプレイされた。4th Singleの'Drafts'は各ストリーミングサービスの著名プレイリストに相次いでリストイン。ブラックミュージックのあらゆる文脈を内包しつつ現代的なR&Bの解釈が施された楽曲によって今まさに注目のアーティストである。
