Please tell us about yourself.: You might have caught that street corner, between the heated conversation of flute, viola and voice; howling ripping into city noise. Be fooled. Aoka is from the future: A million alter egos and they all have great smiles. Smashing genres of music together in high heels off rooftops, spitting firecracker sounds into transistor radios, and afflicting the world with madcap inspiration. She's got space boots and rockets, superhero soul, and a one two that will knock your lights out.

She’s bare, armed with authenticity; accompanying everything from wheels screeching, sweat pouring, fire punk to deliciously seductive sexed-up jazz. Her exploits are as diverse as her reality: funk, soul, electronica, rock and roll, hip-hop, doo-wop, rockabilly and more. In the last couple of years she has been traveling; hiking into canyons, jumping off cliffs and gazing into shooting stars. Recently, she was whisked down south into the arms of long lost musical soulmates who carried her with xylophones and tiny pianos into big big dreams

vocalist+ producer+ beats+ noise+ keys+ drums+ synths+ madness+ theremin+ bass+ soul+ hot shit+ funk+ psychedellia+ electro+ spy+ downtempo+ flute
+ toy machines+ insanity = big big dreams

big big dreams: now recording new album out 01.01.10

Here's a link - when i downloaded it it said this - "Stars all seem to weep-Beth" then when i listened to it-well, you know what happened. Really freaky moment for me. Here's the lyrics Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And food and love was all but left to hunger
It's when I stray from the truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger

I think about you on a moonlit night
And all the stars all seem to weep
When there's so much love to lose
There's never any time for sleep

Look at me doing all these things without you
We always laughed at and you were untrue
Where was it we tried hard not to go?
I think that's how I finally came through

All the things we took for granted
The words still live on in my head
All the times I took for granted
All the words I never said

I think about you in the moonlit night
And the stars all seem to weep
When there's so much love to give
There's never any time for sleep

So I stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And you and I was all but left to hunger
It's when I stray from the tuth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger

Live on without you
Live on without you
