With a powerfully emotive voice and dreamy production, composer/producer Lauren Hillman has made "Kotomi" a name to know in the indie music scene. Her brand of ethereal dance pop finds its distinct voice through her unique sense of melody, which is largely rooted in her classical piano background. Her music has been spotlighted on Spotify's New Music Friday, BBC6, Sirius Radio, Pitchfork, SPIN, and Gorilla vs. Bear where she's been compared to the likes of Chairlift and early Madonna.
