Yumi Ito

The Swiss-Polish-Japanese singer, pianist and composer oscillates between art-pop, jazz and neoclassical music. Recognized by critics as one of the most exciting discoveries of contemporary jazz vocals of the last decade. Her fifth album "Ysla" (enja, 2023) marks a new peak in her opus: personal stories, impressive improvisations and a unique voice - like an island, proud, stoic and strong.
Ito has performed at the most prestigious festivals, such as: Blue Note Jazz Festival in New York, Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazzmandu Festival and many others. “Birdlike Vocal Sensation” - Süddeutsche Zeitung.
