Koenji Music: Ayu Okakita + Lottie Brazier

Koenji Music presents an evening  with two outstanding singer songwriters.   Ayu Okakita is from Osaka in Japan, a multi instrumentalist with an outstanding singing voice that conveys emotion, pain and a haunting honesty that can hit you hard before healing you as well. Her first album  'Cyan Dreams of Miss Ashleen' was released in 2008 after which she relocated to the UK and became the voice of the trip-hop/dubstep band Nedry before re launching her solo career in 2019 with the album Sayonara Dance. 'Grow Grow' was her masterpiece work released in 2023 in Japan and now available on vinyl in the UK. Expect electronic beats, piano, guitar or whatever she happens to find on the night.   Lottie Brazier is a UK singer songwriter, producer and writer. Drawing on post-punk, ambient and pop lineages. Her songs are rooms, stark landscapes and train windows, telling stories of isolation, romantic confrontation and hysterical strength. 'Ropes of Time' single was released in 2025 and will be followed by an album later this year to be released on Hand of Glory Records.
