Toshiki Soejima

Toshiki Soejima is a Japanese guitarist and composer whose instrumental music blends neo-soul, jazz, and lo-fi hip-hop around soft keys, laid-back grooves, and expressive, mellow guitar lines. He started playing at 14 and went on to found Soul Guitar Lab, an online school teaching neo-soul guitar technique to more than 450 students. He often works with his wife, the vocalist Nahokimama, so a show may bring her in alongside his largely instrumental material, and the guitar-first, groove-heavy approach suits a late-night club room.
