A split performance by Korean synth-pop band ADOY and Taiwanese R&B singer/SSW ?te (Whyte) will be held at Billboard Live YOKOHAMA in Kanagawa on Monday, October 28th.
ADOY, who released his first EP “CATNIP” in 2017, won the “Special Jury Award” at the “Seoul Music Awards 2019”, where BTS won the grand prize. He is a symbol of the recent boom in “K-INDIE”, which is different from “K-POP”, having successfully performed live in various Asian countries and Europe and the United States. He has gained support for his modern and sophisticated pop sound that captures the ears of a wide range of listeners, while exuding a mellow, floating feeling that evokes the essence of the 80s.
Meanwhile, Whyte, whose roots lie in jazz and soul, won the Best Alternative Pop Album award at the Golden Indie Music Awards in Taiwan for his second album, Way out, in 2023. He also recently participated in Elephant Gym’s fourth full-length album, WORLD, released this year. The combination of his smoky, warm voice and comfortable jazzy sound is sure to stand out in an intimate club space.
In recent years, unique music scenes have formed in various Asian countries, and an increasing number of artists are making global breakthroughs. Don’t miss this rare visit to Japan by two up-and-coming acts leading this movement.
The two groups have also been confirmed to appear at the music festival “MIND TRAVEL – KABIKICHO TOWER EDITION -,” to be held at Tokyu Kabukicho Tower in Shinjuku, Tokyo on Saturday, October 26th.
