Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan (1992 – present)

Kahimi Karie (カヒミ・カリィ), born Mari Hiki (比企マリ) on March 15, 1968, in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, is an experimental Japanese and visual artist. She debuted with the independent EP, “Kahimi Karie and the Crue-L Grand Orchestra / Mike Alway’s Diary” in 1992.

Kahimi sings in English, French, and (among other languages) with breathy child-like vocals. Her music can be considered ethereal, whispery pop; a number of songs have been written for her by Momus. She also has a strong connection to Cornelius, who collaborated on many early works, and whose trendy Trattoria label released many of her EPs in the mid-’90s. Karie currently lives in Tokyo, Japan, though she spent much of her career in Paris.

    One of my all time favorite Shibuya-kei artists; she transcends the genre.
