Bio
Mei Semones is a Japanese-American singer, songwriter, and guitarist based in Brooklyn, New York. She is known for her genre-blending style that fuses jazz, indie rock, bossa nova, chamber pop, and J-pop influences, often paired with bilingual lyrics in English and Japanese. Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, she began studying piano at age four before switching to guitar at eleven, later focusing on jazz performance and composition at Berklee College of Music. She first emerged with self-released projects in 2022 and gained wider recognition through her 2024 EP Kabutomushi, followed by her critically noted debut album Animaru (2025), released via Bayonet Records. Her music is often described as technically intricate yet emotionally warm, combining complex guitar work, orchestral textures, and fluid genre transitions to create a distinctive and experimental indie sound.
