Yayoi Daimon is a hip-hop singer-songwriter, DJ, producer, and women’s rights advocate who got her start in the industry with the group rhythmic and began her solo career in 2013. She is completely self produced, from writing her own lyrics, songs, production, to her doing her own choreography. Yayoi’s music is heavily influenced by African American music and culture. Yayoi Daimon made her big break in 2017 with the collaboration single Choose Me/Melon Soda feat. ReicHi when it hit number 1 on the iTunes Reggae charts and garnished 3 million views on YouTube. From there on, Yayoi appeared on Fuji TV show LOVE MUSIC, gaining her even more love and support from audiences. She knows how to stun audiences with her impactful words, composition, and empowering presence leaving for memorable music.

Yayoi’s music has a way of leaving an impression through her lyrics, the song Best Friend feat. Dizzle does just that. The first time I heard “Best Friend” feat. Dizzle, I had a direct connection with the lyrics upon hearing it, but that is not all - the composition is phenomenal with its nice pop R&B fused beats and Yayoi’s voice shines in the track immensely. “Best Friend Part 2” feat. Dizzle has a completely different composition, a more upbeat dance vibe with different lyrics and is just as amazing as the original. “Melon Soda" feat. Rei©hi is one of my favorite bops as it has a catchy sound that fits with both Rei©hi and Yayoi’s style. Rei©hi’s rap flows soothingly to a hit and makes you bop along. Yayoi shows how powerful her vocals are but still keeps the reggae/hip-hop feel. “MAKENNA” is a fast paced tune that not only has meaningful lyrics about never giving up and to keep going but its unique combination makes for a great hip-hop dance tune that showcases Yayoi’s rap skills. Yayoi’s latest single “Ego” is a very powerful track with impressive lyrics, vocals, and music; Yayoi shows off her vocal prowess and her songwriting skills yet again in a resonating song that hits you deep in the heart.

Yayoi Daimon has one physical album (Word Hard Love Hard), 3 Digital EPs, ( “Girls - Diamonds”, “Girls - Love”, “Girls - Strong” ), and 18 Digital Singles with her latest, “Ego”, that just released on June 9th!
