Los Angeles-based artist, actress, director, and performer KIMIKO releases her debut EP, Modern Dance.
Best known for her role in Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black, KIMIKO has appeared across numerous television shows and films while also establishing herself as a leading voice in animation. She voiced Peni Parker in the Academy Award-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, its sequel, and the upcoming third film in the series, as well as the titular role of Baby Shark in Nickelodeon’s Baby Shark. She will also appear in Netflix’s highly anticipated adaptation of the viral game Among Us.
Across Modern Dance, KIMIKO brings humour and honesty to the rush, headaches, uncertainty, and literal dance of dating and relationships. The EP captures the push and pull of romantic connection, without losing yourself in the twists and turns.
Alongside the release, KIMIKO shares a music video for the title track, directed by DEATHCATS. On ‘Modern Dance’ and its accompanying music video, KIMIKO says:
“The song was born out of frustration, like a lot of my songs are. I was going on dates with this person, and it felt like a battle of ‘who can care less more’.
Making the video was so much fun because I surrendered a ton of control over to the team and it felt like the most easeful shoot to date. Having a mostly female-run crew made everything feel so light, supportive, and fluid. It was such a playful set!”
