Bio

 

日本語は下にあります。

Now living in Tokyo, indie-folk singer-songwriter Diego Davidenko was born in Argentina and moved to New York at age nine. The transition to America, along with his subsequent moves around the country–from New York to Iowa to Texas to California, and now to Tokyo - helped form the unique insight that he fashions into highly personal songs. His songs are aesthetically influenced by artists such as Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, and Belle & Sebastian, but have distinctive melodic and lyrical twists all their own.

Since moving to Japan, Diego has focused on learning Japanese and exploring writing Americana indie-folk music with original Japanese lyrics. His Japanese releases include “Yume Sae” (2022), “Okite” (2022), "Shizukanako" (2018), "Fuyu Ni Dekiru No Wa" (2019) and "Naishogoto" (2020). As he explores writing in Japanese, he's drawn to artists such as Kicell, Humbert Humbert and Ichiko Aoba.

Now performing regularly in Tokyo, Diego has toured the United States twice and has played venues as far flung as Mexico City and his birth country of Argentina. His music has been featured in independent films including The Strongest Drug and Cures Anything. His debut album, It Isn’t Home, was well received by press and audiences and received airplay at national and international radio including KCSN (Los Angeles), KCSC (Chico, CA) and Radio Estación Sur (La Plata, Argentina).

アメリカのシンガーソングライター ディエゴ・ダヴィデンコは2017に来日しました。音楽のジャンルはアコースティックのインディーフォークです。ボブ・ディランやサイモン&ガーファンクルのようなメロディーです。アメリカにてCDを二枚を作って、アメリカ横断ツアーを行いました。日本に来てから、日本語の勉強とオリジナルの日本語の曲作をしたりしています。日本語のリリースされた曲は「夢さえ」と「起きて」と「静かな子」と「冬にでいるのは」と「内緒事」です。Apple MusicとかSpotifyなどで聴けます。この三曲はYouTubeにMVもあります。

 
 
If staring up at the ceiling contemplating life could ever have a soundtrack, Diego Davidenko would be the one playing it.

It Isn’t Home is an album yearning to belong...Davidenko’s lyrics are the dry insights of the disconnected observer.
