Artist Profile

• manpa

  MANPA is a self-produced independent artist based in Osaka, Japan. Built on lo-fi hip-hop and running through neo soul, R&B and trap, his music turns the texture of ordinary life into something closer to poetry than reportage. He has worked alone since 2023, writing, composing, building every beat and directing his own videos. Everything is made on a single MPC ONE, without music theory, assembled by feel. His lyrics are built to double back on themselves. "When the wrinkles go, all that's left is withering" reads as a line about a face smoothed by filters, and about a brain gone smooth from disuse. MANPA performed at MINAMI WHEEL 2025, Kansai's largest circuit festival, and won the Taiyo to Tora Prize at the Coming Kobe audition in 2026. He has been featured in DIGLE MAGAZINE, selected for official Spotify playlists including Monday Spin, named one of six finalists from over 160 entries at JFCA 2026 for Japan Festival CANADA, and placed in the top 46 of 293 artists in TuneCore Japan's NEXT R&B. His EP Manyoshu vol.2 arrives in October 2026.
