Artist Profile
&LupinusFormed in 2020 as a spin-off project from vocalist Sanae Ishikawa's album "Natsu -SUMMER-", this distinctive acoustic trio brings together Sanae Ishikawa (vocals), Ami Fukui (piano), and Maico Miyamoto (steelpan)
Their sound blends light, flowing rhythms with warm harmonies, sophisticated arrangements, expressive improvisation, and emotionally rich vocals. The three instruments intertwine as if in conversation, creating a vibrant and intimate musical dialogue.
With jazz at its core, the trio draws inspiration from Brazilian music, pop, and a wide range of other styles, reimagining each song through their own unique sound and musical sensibility.
