It was back in 2012 when Jan (Jan Urila Sas, also a member of GREAT3) and Naomi met in Shibuya Hyakkendana, a hip district packed with bars and venues, and formed an instant connection that now takes shape as the spell-binding duo: jan and naomi.

 

 

2014 marked their first release, where they released a limited 500 copies of their 7-inch record, “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man/Time,” off of Hot Buttered Record. Succeeded by their 1st EP, “jan, naomi are” in October of the same year, they have since digitally released a live album with INO hidefumi entitled “Crescente Shades (24bit/48kHz)”, and dropped their 2nd EP, “Leeloo and Alexandra” in June of 2016, followed by a nationwide tour.

 

 

2016 also marked their first appearance at Japanese’s summer music festival staple, Fuji Rock, which drew increased attention to the captivating duo.
