Rina Sawayama is ready for her close-up and she receives exactly that on the cover of Billboard‘s Pride Issue. 

The eclectic Pop force has been on an epic ascend; one that’s taking place on a global scale and one that is being fueled by an authenticity that is magnetizing the masses.

As Pop stars go, Sawayama doesn’t fit the cookie-cutter mold (not does she aim to).

The 30-year-old queer Japanese-British belle glides between unlikely sounds and glues them together with finesse and infectiousness that cannot be denied. Many an example are housed on her debut album ‘Sawayama’ – which topped a lengthy assembly of Best of 2020 lists.

Now, as she commences work on a follow-up, the Cambridge University graduate is opening up about her journey, her ethnicity, featuring on Lady Gaga’s ‘Chromatica’ remix album, being the change she wants to see, and much more.
