Artist Profile

• helianthus mai

  helianthus mai is a Japanese-Filipino singer-songwriter and producer based in Tokyo. Her musical journey began with classical piano in childhood, followed by guitar training at 11 and her first original songs by 15 -- transforming struggles with mental illness into lyrics that became both catharsis and connection. At 16, inspired by artist-producers like Avicii, Porter Robinson, and San Holo, she began producing electronic music. Digital sounds opened a new creative world, letting her craft immersive arrangements that captured her emotions with depth. After high school, she pursued vocal training, honing her ability to channel vulnerability into powerful performances. For helianthus mai, music is more than art -- it is a diary, a refuge for feelings too overwhelming to hold inside. From moments of breakdown to quiet reflection, every song documents her healing process. Through her work, she seeks to raise awareness for mental health and remind others they are not alone -- and that things can get better. Influenced by photography, storytelling, film, and literature, her sound is intimate yet resonant. Blending raw emotion with musical intricacy, she continues to evolve as an artist in her twenties, creating songs that chart her growth while offering comfort and solidarity to listeners around the world.
