Streaming: naoyoshioka.lnk.to/flowYT

A contemporary soul singer with a powerful voice and refined expressive skills, Nao Yoshioka blends modern soul with deep historical roots. Born in Japan and shaped by her experiences in New York, her love for soul music began when she connected with Sam Cooke’s classic, inspiring her to create emotionally resonant music. Despite being Japanese, her voice recalls Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston, strengthened by overcoming adversity. Nao has performed at iconic venues like Blue Note New York and London Jazz Cafe, and festivals like Java Jazz and Capital Jazz. She became the first Japanese artist to reach #32 on the Billboard UAC chart. Her collaborations with John Batiste, Nathan East, and Eric Roberson have earned strong acclaim. In 2024, her highly anticipated 5th album and world tour are set to make waves.
