nagasaki

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

Nagasaki is a Japanese city on the northwest coast of the island of Kyushu. It’s set on a large natural harbor, with buildings on the terraces of surrounding hills.

From lofi hip hop and chill beats to ambient soundscapes, soulful melodies and electronica, each release tells a story, weaving together cultures and experiences into a tapestry of aural exploration.

MY "Hot take" on indie artists

Being an indie artist isn’t automatically a badge of authenticity

— sometimes it’s just a result of avoiding the business side of music, which is crucial for long-term success.
