Kahimi Karie (カヒミ・カリィ)

Kahimi Karie (カヒミ・カリィ), born Mari Hiki (比企マリ) on March 15, 1968, in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, is an experimental Japanese shibuya-kei vocalist and visual artist. She debuted with the independent EP, “Kahimi Karie and the Crue-L Grand Orchestra / Mike Alway’s Diary” in 1992.

Kahimi sings in English, French, and japanese (among other languages) with breathy child-like vocals. Her music can be considered ethereal, whispery pop; a number of songs have been written for her by Momus. She also has a strong connection to Cornelius, who collaborated on many early works, and whose trendy Trattoria label released many of her EPs in the mid-’90s. Karie currently lives in Tokyo, Japan, though she spent much of her career in Paris.
