Shimon Hoshino is a Japanese multidisciplinary artist, composer, sound designer, and perfumer. Working across sound, fragrance, and visual art, his practice explores the relationship between nature, human perception, and invisible sensory experiences.
His music has surpassed 20 million streams on Spotify, and he was selected as a winner of Fender's international Player Plus Studio Sessions program.
Educated in French literature at Keio University, with formative years spent in France and the United States, his work draws on diverse cultural perspectives.
Rooted in his philosophy of invisible design, his practice is deeply influenced by the ocean and his daily experience of surfing, translating natural rhythms and atmospheres into music, scent, and visual expression.
He does not read sheet music. He reads the atmosphere. Guided by intuition rather than written scores, his music emerges spontaneously in response to the space, silence, and subtle shifts in his surroundings. Each performance exists only in its own moment, impossible to recreate in exactly the same way, even by the artist himself. This sense of impermanence is not a limitation, but the essence of his artistic expression.
In 2026, he performed at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Tasmania, Australia, and recorded new works at Frying Pan Studios.
