Artist information
◾️ JELISA ◾️
JELISA is an R&B/Neo-Soul artist from Amsterdam who has been growing her popularity steadily in the past few months. She is exploring the possibility of coming to Tokyo in May, with plans to record new music with Japanese artists to be released on Dontaku Records. During her stay, she is very interested in delivering a guest performance, which we believe would resonate well with local audiences and provide a unique live experience.

◾️ Jun Ishihama (DJ)
◾️
Active since the mid-1990s, Jun Ishihama has been a key figure in Tokyo’s underground scene, delivering the sounds of Hip-Hop, R&B, and Rare Groove with an ear for authenticity and deep musical roots.
In 1997, he moved to New York, where he immersed himself in the Black music community, forming connections with artists like GROUP HOME, Jeru The Damaja, and Rawkus MCs. He also met Daito Manabe of Rhizomatiks Research at the iconic A-1 Record shop—a meeting that led to his involvement in LoveSick, a party focused on sampling culture and Hip-Hop. Under the LoveSick Special banner, he organized Japan tours for Afu-Ra (2000) and GROUP HOME (2001).
Back in Tokyo, Jun has become a staple at parties like CLASSICS (90s Hip-Hop only), JOY NT, R.Collection, and BON-VOYAGE. He’s also played key roles in events featuring DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor, and more, and has served as the Japan tour DJ for The Beatnuts, GROUP HOME, and Afu-Ra.
