Despite her understated and almost humble approach, young singer-songwriter Mina Okabe has struck a chord with people all over the world. She makes no secret of the fact that she uses her songs to talk about personal experiences and emotions. Her ability to transform lived life into songs with a universal power is evidenced by her millions of streams.
Mina Okabe was born and raised in London, with Danish-Japanese roots, and together with her family she has lived in various cities, absorbing life and culture — from New York to Manila. Her debut album, Better Days (2021), received significant attention in Denmark, and now the follow-up, Papaya, is finally out. An album that once again proves her ability to craft personal and enduring pop hits.
However, it's not just Denmark that has taken notice of Okabe, who has gained a massive fan base in places like South Korea and Japan and made a strong impact at festivals such as Seoul Jazz Festival, Local Green Festival and South by Southwest. Coincidentally, Okabe now resides in Japan, fully focused on further developing her name in Asia.
Down-to-earth experiences, dreamy atmospheres, and catchy pop embrace the listener when Mina Okabe sings. We witnessed it at Roskilde Festival in 2022, and that’s why we’re excited to welcome her back this summer — where she’ll be playing one of her very few Danish shows this year.
