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"
- 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.

Aiko Shimada's least ambient album, with her most structured and tuneful songs.
