Information

DAOKO promoting "ShibuyaK / Samishii Kamisama" (2015)

DAOKO first began writing and recording songs with her family's shared iMac in their living room. She used GarageBand software and the built-in microphone on the computer to record her voice. She chose various free tracks (for example, Vocaloid songs) from the internet and tried to remake them in her own style by following the melody and lyrics. Her whispery vocal style was not intentional at first, it was just something she ended up doing because she didn't want her voice to carry too far from the living room as she sang. When she got her own personal computer in her room, she used that to record her demos.

In her third year of junior high school, she began to post rap music on Nico Nico Douga, under the name "daoko" with the handle "meme" (it is unknown if the handle connects to the song "ME!ME!ME!" that she was later featured in). Through that, she met Jinmenusagi, who was on the indies label LOW HIGH WHO? PRODUCTION, and who in turn introduced her to the president of the label. By the time of her entrance into high school, she had acquired a contract with the label under the name daoko. However, because the girls' school that she attended forbade their students from entering the entertainment industry. she had to hide her face. ☆Taku Takahashi of m-flo liked her music, and m-flo collaborated with her in the song IRONY, which was then used as the theme song for the 2013 movie Taka no Tsume ~Utsukushii Elleair Shoushou Plus. She also caught the eye of film director Nakajima Tetsuya, and in 2014 her song Fog was used in his film Kawaki. Also in 2014, she worked with TeddyLoid to provide the song ME!ME!ME! for Studio Color and Hideaki Anno's video series entry into the Japan Animator Expo, and attracted a great deal of attention worldwide.

In 2015, several major label record companies competed over her, but she eventually chose TOY'S FACTORY to make her major label debut. Her first single ShibuyaK / Samishii Kamisama was released, and since she had graduated from high school that year, she also revealed her face for the first time. At the time of her major debut, she also changed her stage name to be DAOKO, all-uppercase.

In 2017, she began releasing a "novel series" through the magazine Da Vinci, titled "Seaside Step". The novel series began running in the magazine in their July issue. The novel series focuses around a 19-year-old female illustrator named Nagisa, who gains popularity online from posting her illustrations under the name nico. Of the series, DAOKO said that while she had been writing lyrics and poetry as a rap singer since she was 15, she had always wanted to try writing something longer.
