From writing love songs in her bedroom to posting lo-fi videos online, Rin embodies the spirit of the modern-day bedroom songwriter—a true digital native with a raw, heartfelt voice. A natural singer since childhood, Rin picked up the guitar during the pandemic, learning to play her favorite songs. That curiosity soon evolved into a desire to write her own.
In the summer of 2023, she penned her first song—recorded simply on her MacBook—and uploaded it to social media without a second thought. By the next day, the video had taken off, resonating with listeners who connected deeply with her vulnerability. That track, “just me (demo)”, became her debut release and the starting point of her journey as an artist.
Rin’s music radiates a kind of wide-eyed sincerity that’s both refreshing and nostalgic. Her debut project fawn, released in August 2025, marks the beginning of her coming-of-age story—an honest reflection of growth, heartbreak, and the pure emotion that comes from telling your story exactly as you feel it.
