Rina Sawayama is a British-Japanese singer, actress, and model. Born and raised in Japan until moving to the UK at the age of 5, Rina went on to study politics, psychology, and sociology at Cambridge University. Fresh off her headline world tour, which sold out Brixton Academy in London and saw five-star reviews from The Guardian and NME, the pop star has followed up her celebrated debut album SAWAYAMA with sophomore LP Hold The Girl. A colossally ambitious record marrying intimate storytelling with arena-sized tunes, the album reached #3 in the UK charts, the highest ever for a Japanese artist.
In between TV performances for limmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Strictly Come Dancing and Graham Norton, starring alongside Keanu Reeves in John Wick: Chapter 4, sparking a change in the BRITS and Mercury Prize eligibility criteria, and with a BRIT nomination for Best New Artist, you'd be forgiven for wondering when she even sleeps.
