Eri Kamiya is one of few well-known singers in the Tokyo jazz scene. Her unique voice and mesmerising persona are main attributes that separate her from others. To this day she is actively performing at reputable jazz establishments around Tokyo. Currently she is heavily involved in the promotion of her new album entitled ‘duos’ through tours and radio and television interviews.

Eri Kamiya@BlueNoteNagoyaBorn in 1971 Eri Kamiya was exposed to music at an early age. Her father, a steel guitar maker and mother, a steel guitar player, gave a huge impression to her life and this was the beginning of her musical endeavor. At the age of 18, she began performing with bands at jazz clubs and this gave her an opportunity to expand her abilities. Having been influenced by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Danny Hathaway, Ella Fitzgerald and Patty Austin to name a few, jazz and soul became her main interest in her musical genre.

In 1993 she worked with Japan’s famous bassist Yoshio ‘Chin’ Suzuki’s band “East Bounce” in their album entitled “Kisses on the wind”. Later as her vocal talents became more and more apparent she began working with other influential bands in Japan such as Skoop On Somebody, FU-TEN and SOUL BOSSA TRIO.

Her single entitled “Repeat” was her first solo debut released in 1997 by IMPERIAL RECORDS.
