YASUKO
She made the transition from classical music after experimenting laying vocals over dance tracks written by her brother who is also musical. She started performing live sets with his band OOOD and Unconscious Collective in clubs throughout the UK and recently performed at The Rocket Club in London. Yasuko has recorded vocals for other artists, including Breakout 23 and more recently with a folk/classical guitarist (Snips) In the summer of 2003 she had a traumatic experience and broke her back, this put things into perspective and the experience inspired her to start writing her own songs. Yasuko recently signed a deal with Dubtransmissions Recordings and Transdub Publishing (administered by Kobalt Music). Yasuko is driven, a very talented songwriter and has a voice you won’t soon forget.
