Iri

iri (イリ) is a Japanese singer-songwriter.

Profile

 * She decided to pursue a career in music from the time she was in high school, and during her high school years, she worked hard at voice training without joining any club activities.
 * When she became a college student, she taught herself to play her mother's acoustic guitar at home and began her music career in earnest by playing live performances at a well-established jazz bar where she had a part-time job. She mainly played sessions with jazz bands.
 * In 2014, she won the Grand Prix in the "Music Performance Category" at JAM, a joint audition held by NYLON JAPAN magazine and Sony Music.
 * She studied abroad in New York City until February 2015.
 * In October 2016 she made her major label debut under Victor Entertainment's Colourful Records.
 * She cites "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys, which she listened to in junior high school, as her biggest musical influence. At that time she perceived her voice as a complex but after starting to listen to and sing Alicia's songs, it changed her confidence.
