Miso Extra
Miso Extra is the solo project and moniker behind the fast-rising London-based singer, rapper and producer. Born in Hong Kong to a British father and Japanese mother, the artist moved to Japan when she was a child and later relocated to the UK. Growing up, she learnt how to play the violin and loved to sing. Her musical influences include J Dilla, the late MF DOOM, Daft Punk and Kelis. Aside from music, anime inspired the artist, and these references have been woven into her work today.
Since releasing her first EP "Great Taste" in April 2022 on Beatnik Creative, Miso Extra signed her first record deal with Transgressive records with whom she released her second EP, "MSG" in August 2023. After ending the year with a double single including a self-produced cover of Little Dragon's 'Constant Surprises', Miso Extra sold out her first London headline show in under a month. She is now working on her debut album.
