Rie Tamuro

Born in Nara, Japan, she grew up surrounded by rich nature and history. She encountered the acoustic guitar in her second year of junior high school and wrote her first original song at 14. Since then, expressing the subtleties of her heart through song has become her life's work.

From her high school days, she actively toured live houses in major cities like Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo. She gained experience through street performances, polishing her singing voice and guitar skills on the ground. Her lyrics that delve into her inner self and her nostalgic yet powerful melodies began to capture the hearts of many listeners.

At the age of 21, she moved to New York alone in search of further possibilities for expression and new inspiration. While facing language barriers and cultural differences, she reaffirmed through local open mics and street performances that "music has no borders." In October 2017, she was selected as the only Japanese artist for the "International Singer-Songwriter Showcase," where her performance received high acclaim.

Currently based in Virginia, USA, she is developing multi-creative activities utilizing the latest digital environment, including music production, video editing, and live streaming. She continues to establish a unique artist image that fuses her roots in Japanese sensibility with her experiences abroad.
