Yup'in

Yup'in (ヤピン) is a Japanese singer and songwriter.

She made her official debut with the mini album Who are you? in 2015 and became a founding member of the supergroup FAMM'IN in early 2016.

History
Influenced by her parents, Yup'in grew up surrounded by music, playing the piano and band instruments from a young age. When she reached adolescence, she taught herself to dance and immersed herself in street dance in order to pursue her own self-expression. In high school, she won prizes in various contests, including a national high school dance drill competition, and made a name for herself as a dancer.

Instead of going to college, she collected the lyrics she had been writing, and at the age of 17, she took off to Shibuya to start her career as an artist. Soon after, she started distributing music videos and releasing them completely on her own.

Her first digital single "No matter what I say" was released on September 1, 2013. The song reached spot #13 on the i-Tunes R&B chart at the time of its release. With the release of this song, she was able to get a lot of attention from various fields such as the Shibuya street area and the J-R&B scene.

 * The "Yup" in the artist's name, Yup'in, means "yes" in slang and "high-handedly" which has two meanings: "cheeky" and "sassy". As the name implies, Yup'in's song s contain a positive affirmation of the importance of "loving yourself".
