kenji: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About kenji

Kenji Sawada is a Japanese singer, songwriter, and actor whose career was shaped by his time as the frontman of the rock group The Tigers. Known by the nickname “Julie,” a nod to his long-stated admiration for Julie Andrews, he built a public identity that moves between pop address and rock phrasing. In New York City he appears at Mercury Lounge, including on bills connected to Jordan Astra, with whom he has shared the stage. His performances favor direct vocal presence over spectacle.
