about

Nao Yoshioka’s 3rd album, “The Truth”, features well-know collaborators including a member of the The Roots while her performance at Capital Jazz Fest 2016, was received with an outpouring of love and respect.

Since arriving on the scene in 2013, Nao Yoshioka has crisscrossed the globe performing in numerous cities in the US, The Netherlands, and most recently the UK for the first time, while still performing at a number of well-known venues in Japan including Blue Note and Billboard Live. In June 2016, she hopped a plane for Washington DC to perform at one of the largest US summer festivals, Capital Jazz Fest, where she witnessed an outpouring of love from the crowd. The reception and experience has given rise to her standing on the international soul music stage. “The Truth” is testimony that real music connects people beyond all boundaries. “The Truth” comprises all original material with the title track, “The Truth” being produced by Grammy-nominated Khari Mateen who has also worked with Jill Scott and James Poyser to name a few. In addition, the dreamy R&B ballad, “I Love When”, was produced by Swizz Beatz producer and writer Musicman Ty who has worked with Alicia Keys and Nicki Minaj. This album embodies a new generation feel that has evolved over time while highlighting Nao’s undeniable talent.
