The Japanese House is an English rock and pop musician who started her journey in 2015, recording under the captivating alias The Japanese House. Over the years, The Japanese House has built a unique sound that blends dreamy synth textures with emotionally resonant lyrics. Her breakthrough came with the release of her second EP, Pools to Bathe In, which significantly elevated The Japanese House’s profile in the indie music scene. The EP featured the widely praised single “Still,” helping cement The Japanese House as a rising star.
One of her most defining moments arrived in 2017 with the release of “Saw You In A Dream,” a track that went on to amass over 100 million streams on Spotify—further proving The Japanese House’s growing global appeal. Before all the fame and recognition, The Japanese House was just a young girl with a passion for music. She wrote her first song, “My Little Secret,” at the age of twelve, inspired by a school crush—a tender glimpse into the early beginnings of The Japanese House’s artistry. Growing up wasn’t always easy; her parents divorced when she was young, an experience that subtly shaped the emotional depth found in The Japanese House’s music today.
Her track “Still” holds the special honor of being legendary DJ Zane Lowe’s final Hottest Record on Radio 1—a memorable moment that solidified her presence in the music scene. Then, in June 2023, she dropped her second studio album, In the End It Always Does, marking another milestone in her evolving career.
