Bio / Background
"Local star Shimada has a love for darker colors and more complex musical influences, incorporating jazz and other ethnic sounds into a style that is deeply melodic, ?c" - Seattle Weekly
When you think of Japanese musicians performing in the U.S., one might think of genres such as alternative pop/rock, jazz, noise, and experimental music. Tokyo-born, Seattle based guitarist/singer/songwriter Aiko Shimada has her own unique approach. Victory Review in Seattle described her music as "a spacious, multi-faceted hybrid of jazz, progressive rock, folk and shades of many other influences."
In 2000, Aiko was offered a record project by the world-renowned composer/saxophonist John Zorn. The CD, Blue Marble was released under his label Tzadik, and distributed worldwide in 2001 (produced by New York/Seattle composer/multi-instrumentalist Eyvind Kang with the special guest appearance by Bill Frisell).
Aiko writes and sings songs in both Japanese (her native language) and English.
