Kota No Uta

Kota No Uta is a producer and singer-songwriter. Her experimental sound is rooted in neo-soul, jazz, and folk music. A story teller, by nature, Kota writes her lyrics through the prism of metaphor and mythology, often inspired by daily observations of surroundings.

Her music subsequently was played on BBC2 by Jamie Cullum, Jazz FM UK by Chris Philips, Soho Radio by Karl Boss and BobaFatt, Balamii Radio by Allysha Joy, P8 Jazz radio in Denmark, Prun radio by Angèle and Nélia, France and J-Wave Radio at Morning voyage show in Tokyo.

Kota No Uta receives a scholarship of 7,000 euros in 2024 for the production of an album.
