About KISAKI

Lydia Kim, known professionally as KISAKI, is a Korean-Canadian producer and DJ from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Although having been classically trained in voice and music theatre from the age of 14, KISAKI found more joy in dancing to K-Pop, watching anime, and playing video games at a time when those around her did not share her interests.

While completing her undergraduate studies at the University of Waterloo and subsequently University of Toronto for her masters, she started to teach herself how to produce, record, and mix her own vocals in Garageband and Logic Pro. Her endeavours led to collaborations with underground EDM producers and Touhou music groups as a songwriter and featured vocalist in melodic dubstep, future bass, hardstyle, synthwave and eurobeat genres. In July 2021, she released her self-produced debut extended play, “Heart Battery,” and a collaborative remix extended play for her title track, “Battery” the following year.

From 2022 to present, KISAKI joined Emtee Music Group as a resident producer and A&R in artist development and education for independent artists and labels. Her most recent activities led to finally combining her love for anime and high-energy electronic dance music in the studio, and on the dance floor as she embarks on her first tour as part of the #WeTouchGrass Anime Rave DJ lineup in 2024.
