about

Press Play is a song which champions introverts to embrace their shyness and need for solitude and be confident in who they are. It’s a reminder for all adults to approach life with a childlike intrigue, move without inhibition, let go and just play.

Jade Kenji is a Vietnamese-Australian artist who leads her music collective QOSMEA as vocalist and songwriter. Born in Sydney, Australia, and having spent most of her life there, she also has experience living and working in Japan for 3 years.

Her music draws influences from 90’s hip-hop, R&B and Japanese music.Kenji always loved singing as a child and grew up in a household with music always playing in the background. It was her uncle who introduced her to hip-hop/R&B, with memories of riding in his car listening to Rump Shaker on cassette, only to find out later it was called New Jack Swing.

While always having dreams of being an artist, her pursuit of a music career came later in life after a stint working an office job. Growing up in Australia, she never saw Asian-Australians like herself represented in mainstream media. With the motivation to be that representation, she decided to study music, during which time she met Sydney-based hip-hop producer and beatmaker Kase Avila. The duo collaborated to release their EP Maroyaka (2021) and Jade Kenji’s debut single Tell Me The Time
(2022).
