Rina Sawayama
With over 200 million plays across streaming services, and her critically acclaimed debut album 'SAWAYAMA' ranking on over 50 album of the year lists in 2020, Japanese-British pop superstar Rina Sawayama is set to make her feature film acting debut in the highly anticipated next entry in the John Wick franchise. Born in Japan and raised in North London, Sawayama ascended to pop stardom via an unusual trajectory at Cambridge University studying politics, psychology and sociology, and funding her early music with modeling before signing a record deal. Bolstered by eclectic, attention-grabbing singles including "XS," "Comme des Garçons," and "Chosen Family," the latter recently receiving a special duet rendition with Elton John, she concluded 2020 with the deluxe edition release of SAWAYAMA. With no genre off-limits for the daring singer/songwriter/producer, Sawayama has been hailed as the "future of pop," joining the upper-echelon of left-field pop's premier league. Now adding acting to her resume, the entertainer will launch her first headlining world tour later in 2021.
