Fluffy is a singer-songwriter from Osaka Prefecture, born in 2005.

Her melodies are rooted in J-pop while drawing on folk and rock, with a touch of Western pop from the ’90s and 2000s.

She began her career during the last summer vacation of her final year of high school in 2023 and released her first tracks the same year.

She has been consistently putting out songs, including her signature tracks Playlist and I’m Not Your Baby.

Her flexible performance style—from solo acoustic to full band—and her fresh, vibrant vocals are wonderful.
