Biography

Misia was born on July 7, 1978, Fukuoka, in Kyushu the southernmost of Japan's four main islands. The Fukuoka music scene is usually associated with rock acts such as Sheena and the Rokkets, Number Girl and Shiina Ringo, but gospel and R&B music influence over her own career. She started voice training at the age of 15. During high school, she began training with some African-American trainers in gospel and R&B such as Frank Toddy Winfrey, an African-American who was Misia’s vocal coach from 1994 to 1997.

She first appeared in 1998 after being spotted at an BMG Japan audition in '97. After that, Misia gave herself the name "Misia" is a combination of "Misaki" and "Asia."(other saying goes "Messiah" and/or "Asia"). One of her claims to fame is the ability to cover 5 octaves when singing, something she puts to good use in her songs. To date she has released 12 albums, and though her popularity isn't as huge as some others artist that are the same genre, she commands a decent following. While it's common to find Misia described as an R&B artist, her music has a more soulful, even bluesy, quality to it, something her voice complements well.

She is one of the few artists in Japan to have never performed on any TV music shows and fewer to be as popular despite this. Her live performance is acclaimed by many. She became the first female solo act that toured five major domed stadiums of Japan in 2004.

It was announced on May 1, 2007 that MISIA will be leaving avex trax to go back to her former record label, BMG Japan. The first original release on BMG Japan since 2002 was released on July 4, 2007. It is said to be a love song composed by Satoshi Shimano, who also produced her debut hit.

On September 29, 2007 MISIA held her first overseas concert in Taiwan.

Her next single, Royal Chocolate Flush, was released in December 2007, and the first album since returning to BMG, EIGHTH WORLD, was released in January 2008.

Starting in April, MISIA will release a new single each month for three months. Yes Forever will be released in April, Yakusoku no Tsubasa in May, and now untitled single in June along with the EIGHTH WORlD tour DVD.
