Kenji Araki is a digital artist based in Austria with roots in Japan. His work is influenced on the deconstruction of contemporary art and music.
The exploration of genre- and medium boundaries are at the core of his artistic ethos and lead to an aesthetic that is equally harsh, alien, somber and beautiful.
In 2022, Kenji set his first musical milestone with the release of his debut album “Leidenzwang”. The result and musical core: An experimental, emotional post-club exploration with pop sensibility that deliberately ignores genre boundaries. Just one year later, Kenji Araki has already released his second album “Hope Chess”. This body of work continues to explore genre-busting post-club sounds, but its overall substance is much more sensitive and decelerated than previous works.
His irrepressible output is also reflected in his collaborative music projects. These range from Hyperpop blossoms and Grunge Rock reminiscences with ANTHEA to a new definition of sensitive Indie and Post-Punk with YBsole at enns or Dark Wave/Dark Pop songs on the collab with Antonia XM.
