SIRUP is an R&B/soul/hip-hop artist who started back in 2017 (as stated back in our Indie Corner for sankara). While R&B/hip-hop is somewhat small in the music scene for Japan, the artists that are dedicated to making this their genre of choice go full force with it, bringing out the next step in a constantly evolving genre. This is no different with SIRUP, as his understanding of compositions for all the track he brings out is of the highest caliber which, while feeling fresh, also feels familiar to hits in the genre. Along with superb compositions, SIRUP’s work is coupled with his amazing vocals which just seep int listeners’ ears, smooth as syrup. Both “Rain” and “LOOP” show off his mastery of vocal skill and range perfectly.

While still in his career’s infancy, SIRUP started with a bang by having two amazing EPs released in the last two years, with his first album freshly titled FEEL GOOD being released May of this year. SIRUP was also the first artist featured in Spincoaster’s (TOKYO SOUNDS) Music Bar Sessions video with his song “SWIM” back in summer of last year. He has also collaborated with several others such as Korean artist YonYon and electonica artists YOSA & TAAR with songs “Mirror” and “Fever”, respectively.
