Experience Nayo Jones

Nayo Jones (born Nayo Nakagawa-Jones, January 27, 1985) is a Japanese-American singer-songwriter and producer known for her emotive vocals and blend of alternative R&B, electronic, and jazz influences. Initially gaining recognition as a vocalist for electronic music producers like Machinedrum and Hudson Mohawke in the late 2000s, she transitioned to a solo career with the critically acclaimed EP *Blue* (2015).

Her full-length debut album, *Landscapes* (2017), further solidified her signature sound – atmospheric production paired with deeply personal lyricism exploring themes of identity, displacement, and vulnerability. Jones’ vocal delivery is often described as ethereal and haunting, drawing comparisons to artists like Imogen Heap and FKA twigs.

She's toured extensively supporting acts like Bonobo and Tourist, and her music has been featured in publications like *Pitchfork*, *The Fader*, and *Resident Advisor*. Beyond performing, Jones is an active producer herself, contributing to projects across various genres. Her recent work continues to push boundaries within electronic music while maintaining a core focus on emotionally resonant songwriting.
