Vorlage:About Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Use dmy dates Vorlage:Infobox musical artist Rina Sawayama (Vorlage:Lang-ja; born 16 August 1990) is a Japanese-British singer, songwriter and model. Born in Niigata, she was raised from a young age in London, where she currently resides. Her debut extended play, Rina, was released in 2017, before her debut studio album, Sawayama, was released on 17 April 2020.

Early life

Rina Sawayama was born 16 August 1990 in Niigata, Japan.[1] She lived there until the age of five when her family decided to move to London, England, where she was raised and lives.[2] While studying politics, psychology and sociology at Magdalene College, University of Cambridge,[3] she decided to pursue music and modelling. During her time at university, she was in a hip hop group called Lazy Lion with Theo Ellis from the indie rock band Wolf Alice.[1] She graduated from the university with a degree in political science.

Career

2013–2017: Early career

Sawayama began her solo career in 2013, with the single "Sleeping in Waking." In June 2015, she released a music video, directed by Arvida Byström, to her track "Tunnel Vision." In 2016, she released the single "Where U Are," with an accompanying music video co-directed by Alessandra Kurr.[4] The single explored human interaction with digital media, with Sawayama explaining: "Online you can present your best edited self [and] your overheating phone substitutes human warmth. Weirdest of all—you're together, but also very alone."[5] The song has been described as "nostalgic greatness... ultra-sweet and shimmering pop",[6] and "90s R&B pop perfection".[7]

2017–2019: Rina and touring

Sawayama at Heaven in 2018

In March 2017, her single "Cyber Stockholm Syndrome" premiered on The Fader.[8] Sawayama described the genesis of the themes of the track as: "the digital world can offer vital support networks, voices of solidarity, refuge, escape. That's what 'Cyber Stockholm Syndrome' is about: pessimism, optimism, anxiety, and freedom."[8] In 2017, the singles "Alterlife" and "Tunnel Vision," a duet with Shamir, were released, followed by her debut mini-album Rina.[9][10] Sawayama was then an unsigned artist, and Rina was released independently; she confirmed on Twitter that she worked for two to three years in order to save money to release the EP.Vorlage:Citation needed The Guardian deemed the album "bracing and modern" and Sawayama as having proven she can shepherd pop into the future, too."[11] Pitchfork ranked the album in its list of best pop and R&B albums of the year.[12] In 2018, she released the single "Valentine" on Valentine's Day.[13] The music video for album track "Ordinary Superstar" was released in June 2018.Vorlage:Citation needed In August 2018, Sawayama released the track "Cherry", in which she explores her sexual identity.[14] Sawayama embarked on her Ordinary Superstar tour across the UK and America in late 2018.[15] In 2019, she was the support act for Charli XCX's tour across the UK.[16]

2020: Sawayama and the Dynasty Tour

In 2020, after signing to Dirty Hit records, she released the singles "STFU!", a nu metal, heavy metal, pop and avant-pop song, and "Comme des Garçons (Like the Boys)", an "homage to early 2000s dance tracks", both from her then-upcoming debut album.[17] A third single, the rock and 2000s R&B inspired "XS" was released on 2 March.[18] The following month, Sawayama released another single from the album titled "Chosen Family."[19] Her debut album Sawayama was released on 17 April to widespread critical acclaim.[20][21]

Other ventures

Modelling career

Sawayama has been signed to Anti Agency and Elite Model Management. In 2017, she was chosen for Versus x Versace's fall winter campaign.[22] She has also starred in campaigns for Jourdan Dunn's Missguided,[23] and wrote and performed an original track for Nicola Formichetti’s MAC x Nicopanda.Vorlage:Citation needed

Collaborations

In 2016, Sawayama collaborated with Taiwanese visual artist John Yuyi on a visual series critiquing Asian, and Japanese, beauty standards. Subsequently, she was profiled in Vogue. In the interview, Sawayama described the genesis of the idea and collaboration: "For a lot of women in Japan, these are the expectations people put on them, from anime culture, kawaii culture... that can really put women at a disadvantage, objectifying and infantilizing them."[2] Sawayama has worked with Nicola Formichetti for MAC x Nicopanda. Formichetti also directed the music video for Sawayama's track "Ordinary Superstar". The genesis of the partnership was outlined in i-D.[24]

Artistry and public image

Her main influences came from '90s and '00s acts such as Avril Lavigne,[25] Lady Gaga,[26][27] Hikaru Utada,[28] Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, JoJo, Gwen Stefani, Evanescence and Limp Bizkit among others.[29][30][31] In 2017, Sawayama was ranked in The GuardianPflichtangabe Text für Zitat im Zitat fehlts 18 for '18 list as well as DazedPflichtangabe Text für Zitat im Zitat fehlts 100 list.[32][33] She has used Lady Gaga's vocal training method, bel canto, an Italian operatic exercise, to gain more treble and make her voice breathy.[26]

Personal life

In August 2018, Sawayama came out during an interview with Broadly, declaring: "I've always written songs about girls. I don't think I've ever mentioned a guy in my songs, and that's why I wanted to talk about it." She identified as both bisexual and pansexual.[34]

In July 2020, she signed an open letter to the UK Equalities minister Liz Truss calling for a ban on all forms of LGBT+ conversion therapy.[35]

Maybe it's just hindsight, but I just feel like chart music back then was crazy diverse. There was obviously a huge thing of R&B that was going on. Then rock like No Doubt and then Limp Bizkit being number one for weeks in the UK. I remember that Evanescence was number one for weeks. Avril Lavigne, all these random people and then it was R&B and there was Justin Timberlake, Pharrell and Beyoncé and stuff. I just hope that people don't feel like it's being too referential. That's something I always want to try and stay away from. I always want to add something a bit new to the equation. Music from the 2000s was also the soundtrack to all this drama that I'm talking about the lyrics. I really wanted this record to sound like it was housed in the time when the things I'm talking about were happening.“
