notes

Indulging a rare breed of rock n’roll of the biggest kind, Emiko is a sensitive and introspective songwriter. Notwithstanding, this girl lives up to the rock legends as a trailblazer who sings, plays keys, takes her own solos, and is unafraid to say what others only dare to think. Having played piano since she was two and half, Emiko has transformed from classical pianist prodigy to rock and roll starlet. Her latest release, “Here Lies Tinkerbell” (OA Entertainment) features both mature, musical expertise along with an adventurous, rock esthetic through wails on the B3 organ, funky licks on the clav, Wurly solos, and melodic whirls that Beethoven would drool over . Emiko’s intense, bold lyrics investigate and lament over love, heartbreak, frustration and fear in ways that make her listeners not only move and groove to the music, but also react and relate on a much deeper emotional level.

After signing on as an artist for the AAHP (Artist Against Hunger & Poverty) campaign for World Hunger Year, founded by the late Harry Chapin, Emiko hit the road January 2006 in Canada to return home from Europe in May. As part of AAHP, Emiko is the only unsigned artist touring on an international level under the same banner with such superstars as Bruce Springsteen, Michael McDonald, Aerosmith, etc.

Look out because legendary guitarist Steve Lukather has agreed to play on her next album to be released this summer (produced by Stuart Ridgway and “maybe” Executive Produced by Phil Ramone).

When Emiko is not on tour and finalizing preparations for her new album, she directs the Asian American Music Industry Association. AAMIA, founded by the starlet herself in 2005, is an organization dedicated to bridging the gap between Asia and the Western World in today’s popular music industry.

--Emiko: (according to MTV) - " incredible live!!!! She totally sucks you in!"
--Emiko: (according to CDbaby.com) - "A wild, interactive, and honest
experience. Hyper and in-your-face as much as she is understated and
haunting, Emiko's sound is big enough to fill an arena even when she is
just whispering in your ear."

  • Very Sexy stuff
    author: Ethan

    totally sexy songs. luv the grooves and moods of each tune. at first I thought it would be a goth record cuz of all the leather on the front cover but i learned you cant judge a cd by its cover. just like a book. anyway. really glad i bought the album.

  • Bold lyrics...and clever too
    author: Samantha

    I can't believe how clever and bold Emiko's lyrics are. Not only do they tell the story of each song, they are provoke thoughts on a pretty deep level. It's great that she can groove and make you think. I especially like the variety of topics she covers in her album. Everything from relationships with boys to Napoleon to death, to something called the Knitting Factory. I LOVE the Peter Pan song!

  • Expressive and honest
    author: Ann

    Emiko's songs are so expressive and honest. Her lyrics really spoke to me on a lot of diffrent levels. She is really musically diverse and in an age where music seems to be getting worse in the mainstream, it's great to see and hear that artists like Emiko are out there being themselves and refusing to cave. I think Tinkerbell is a rockin' and awesome CD. I am so glad I found it on CDbaby.com! I can't wait to hear more from her.

  • Brand New Man

  • author: Jason

    This is a girl who knows what she wants. The CD is awesome, great production, great songs, and she's hot. It says 2001 on the CD. Is there another Emiko Cd that's newer?

  • Loved the CD. Bought it at someone's recommendation. Enjoyed the entire CD.

    author: Dot-Bands.com

    Emiko is a young Japanese-American songwriter who gives "rock and roll" a fresh, new meaning. She entices the listener with her viceral piano playing, bright harmonies, and "naughty-girl" lyrics (not to mention all that leather!) while leading them through a fantastic journey of infinite sonic adventures and emotional explosions. Currently promoting her newest record, "Here Lies Tinkerbell" Emiko encourages you to "clap your hands if you believe!"
