COMA-CHI (Singer/Rapper)
A pioneering figure who supported the early days of Japanese HIPHOP as a leading female MC.
She was the first female to achieve runner-up in the B-boy park MC battle and has been featured by numerous artists including m-flo and ZEEBRA, demonstrating her genre-transcending presence. She made her major debut in 2009, dominating streaming charts. She has also worked on many movie theme songs and TV commercial jingles.
After going independent, she established her own label "Queen’s Room." She participated in a Grammy-nominated work in collaboration with Sly & Robbie and attended the awards ceremony, developing an international music career.
In 2018, she released "JOMON GREEN," themed around the Jomon period. Her work "The Voices of Kamuy," inspired by Ainu culture, was used as an insert song in Marvel's anime "Hit-Monkey."
Her latest work, "OTO," presents the worldview of "Japanese Fusion," a new genre that blends traditional Japanese instruments with urban music like HIPHOP.
This work was featured on the official Grammy website and was selected as Japan's representative for the official Grammy playlist "GLOBAL SPIN."
Through "Japanese Fusion," she fuses Japanese spirituality with musical innovation, creating a new wave in the global music scene.
