Melbourne misfit Momoko Rose wields her vulnerability as an instrument of healing. As a queer Japanese-Australian artist, her music embodies both wistfulness and wit, exploring realms of ambiguity and contradiction. Momoko’s feminine aesthetic is charged with masculine energy, challenging conventions with her unique brand of edgy softness. Drawing inspiration from otherworldly women in R&B and folk — Björk, Raveena, Joanna Newsom and Japanese folk singer Ichiko Aoba — Momoko crafts ethereal soundscapes that intertwine lush chords pierced by dynamic beats. Despite her first love for folk music, her sound is constantly evolving and breaks genre boundaries.
