Eri Blossom’s Biography
Eri Blossom is a NYC based singer, rapper and songwriter wrapping up people’s minds like petals of Japanese Cherry Blossom with an R&B and hip-hip rooted sounds. Her words flutter between Japanese and English with a sassy attitude and also are rawness that comes from her soul. Her music is strongly influenced by Japanese and American culture, which shows listeners a view they’ve never seen.
She started learning music when she was age three. Growing up in Japan with parents who loved American and British culture, it wasn’t difficult for her to get into classic R&B and Hip-Hop such as Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston, TLC, Tupac,
Janet Jackson, and more.
After she moved to Tokyo from her hometown to continue her music study, she had opportunities to sing at night clubs and was able to visit NYC to take the class by the daughter of Ray Charles, Sheila Raye Charles.
During the trip, she had some opportunities to do street performance and interact with the audience. This experience convinced her to move to NYC.
Since her move, she has earned a bachelors degree in Jazz studies from the City College of New York where she expanded her influence to Jazz music. She has also performed in open mics at well-known music venues in New York City, such as
Village Underground, Ashford and Simpson’s Sugar Bar, Harlem Nights, The Groove and Negril BK.
In 2021, she released her first single “Fly Away”, which shows that she enjoys her freedom after a long hard time and delivers it with the positive lyrics and 90’s inspired sounds.
She also recently started supporting woman by speaking out on woman’s issues through her music.
She continues creating her own music. Her flowers have just begun to open to the world.
