Last year, Yuko Nishiyama was given the opportunity to mix her debut album with Rob Feaster (George Harrison, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell) in Nashville, TN, USA. The opportunity came after two solid years developing her music and refining her concepts. In order to help fund this incredible opportunity Yuko took to crowdfunding site Pozible – she was successful. Her debut single is ‘Heart of Daisies’, a track which combines lashes of strings and driving harmonies. A busy gal, Yuko also recently teamed up with Melbourne-based music/art collaborative, friendships. That particular track is titled ‘Step Up’, and both can be heard online now. Yuko is one to keep an eye on and you can find out why when she makes The Karova in Ballarat her home on August 14.
