In Episode 57 I chat with singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kaoru Ishibashi who performs under the pseudonym Kishi Bashi about being perfectly woke, always scheming, and fighting over the last bottle of Kombucha.
Aside from being a world renowned violinist who has toured internationally with such diverse artists as Regina Spektor, Sondre Lerche, of Montreal, and Alexi Murdoch, he is also the singer and founding member of the New York electronic rock outfit Jupiter One and has garnered praise from the likes of NPR’s Bob Boilen who listed him as his favourite new artist of 2012, noting that he created a 'radiant, uplifting soundscape'.
In 2019 he released his album 'Omoiyari' in support of his feature length documentary “Omoiyari: A songfilm by Kishi Bashi” which explores minority identity and the Incarceration of Japanese Americans in WWII. After 4 years in the making and over $100,000 donated by backers across the globe, the film officially premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in March 2022 and is due for wider release on Paramount+ and HBO in January 2024.
