Awich is a rapper from Okinawa, Japan born in 1986. Awich, short for “Asia Wish Child” is a name she created to reflect her passions. She was featured on the album Orion Beat showcasing various artists when she was only 14 years old. In 2006, she released her debut album, EP Inner Research. She went to Atlanta to attend school at the same year, during the height of the southern hip hop boom.
In 2011, she graduated from a university with a bachelor’s degree in Entrepreneurship and Marketing. Through this healing process about her family, she established a production company, CIPHER CITY, in her home of Okinawa. The company produces different content such as music, movies, festivals and TV shows. In 2017, the short film “Aimer” written and directed by Awich, won the Best Fantasy Short at the New Renaissance Film Festival Amsterdam. Later that year, she released a full album, her first in a decade, in partnership with Chaki Zulu.
She flows freely between Japanese, Okinawan and English, piecing together a unique sound while also staying true to the lyrics. Her deep vocals generates a captivating atmosphere for listeners. Awich’s ability to submerge herself into multiple global perspectives while also adding her signature feminine touch allows her to create music that is singular but relatable across the world.
