Band/artist history
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. Sheâs 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 03.03.10 www.aoka.info

Anything else?
things i like: Drinks and giggles. Being inspired. Climbing mountains in chucks. Singing labels of soup cans like Elvis. Relishing in my child like sense of wonderment. Bike gangs down hills with 40's in my basket. Reading really really fast. Staying up all night for a spontaneous dance party, sing a long, flash mob or slip n slide. Occupying my free time with art. Cliff jumping. Wandering alleys while singing. Hiking. Go carting on slick tracks. Remaining optimistic enough to be hopeful yet jaded enough to be funny. Wheat-paste, sidewalk chalk, graffiti and urban expression. Building Fires. Trying on delicate shoes. Being unafraid. Playing four square till the sun comes. Beach caves. Giving love truly. Kung-fu beat-boxing in the park. Teaching kids. Social consciousness, activism, release, expression, and the art of opinion. Canyons. Getting lost in libraries, toggling books, on all the things I find amazing in the universe. The ocean at night. Snow camping. Being genuine while lying for kicks. Decorating myself. Rope Swings. Caring, really caring about humanity without losing my mind to pc robots or triple-vegan celibacy. Being ninja. Playing an everyday superhero. Pictured knowledge. And music. oh how I love music.
