椎名 裕美子 (Shiina Yumiko)
Also Known As: Ringo Sheena
Associated Acts: Tokyo Jihen
Vocal Range: B2 - C6
{Vocal Summary}Japan has a pretty limited pool of artists that are well regarded widely outside of their own nation. Though she isn't exactly mainstream in the sense that foreign contemporaries she's similarly compared to such as Bjork are, Shiina Ringo is crowdpleaser amongst the indie-underground that do recognise her. A bonafide popstar in her own country, Shiina is known for her multi-instrumental composing prowess and impressive musical repetoire, covering j-pop, rock, jazz fusion and hip-hop.
Vocally, Shiina demonstrates her infectious charisma at its most immediate. A relatively high-placed mezzo-soprano (and possibly one of the best examples of one) with charming nasality and a cool, strong lower register, Shiina is a versatile and captivating vocalist. Her upper register is generally defined by her distinct twang and light falsetto while her lower register is fluid, yet raspy and surprisingly heavy.
