“Sola Masaru is a Japanese-French artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who brings a cinematic, genre-fluid approach to contemporary music. Classically trained in cello and raised in Japan by a painter and a writer, he grew up immersed in the arts, developing a fearless curiosity that rejects boundaries between medium and genre. His work weaves together bass, guitar, keys, and vocals into sonic landscapes that blur the lines between electronic, jazz, hip-hop, and avant-garde pop. Influenced by visionaries like Ryuichi Sakamoto and Devonté Hynes, Sola prioritizes emotion and atmosphere over trends, creating intimate yet expansive tracks where feeling guides form and every composition tells its own story.”
