In August, soul singer Nao Yoshioka will return to Europe for a series of shows to promote her brand new album Flow, it is also already known that she will be back in Europe in November.

Performances announced for August are scheduled for London at Omera and Berlin at Gretchen. One show is currently set for November, at TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht. Before heading to Europe in August, she will perform a couple of shows in Japan.

Born in Osaka, Yoshioka grew up in a creative family, resulting in the exploration of her artistic talents at an early age. Influenced by artists such as Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin, she developed her style over the years. She has lived in the United States to focus on making music and has had the opportunity to perform at several major festivals. Just last summer, she was in Europe for several performances.

Her fourth album, Undeniable, was released in 2019 and it has taken five years for Nao Yoshioka to release her fifth album Flow, collaborating with various artists from the US, the Netherlands, Australia, the UK, and Japan. The new album was born from the musician’s tribulations of pandemic, ongoing challenges, introspection and self-discovery. Nao Yoshioka is known for combining musical elements of classic soul, R&B and jazz, allowing her music to be seen as timeless and modern.
