Yamazaki Ayane (山﨑彩音)
Ayane Yamazaki is a young singer and songwriter born in 1999. She debuted when she was 15 years old and she is known for her peculiar musical style that mixes city pop, dream pop and Shibuya-kei.
Several of her songs reached high positions in some European indie charts, especially in Germany and Spain.

She continues to work through streaming as a recording artist developing a whisper voice that transcends language and existing linguistic sensibilities.”
