MER
MER is the musical moniker of Tokyo-based artist Rio Miyamoto.
Rooted in the rich lineage of R&B and organic soul, MER elevates these influences into modern, mellow soundscapes. Drawing on four and a half years of life in the US, Rio’s English lyrics craft a poignant yet beautiful poetic world centered on themes of love and loss.
The project name "MER"—the French word for the "sea"—derives from his own name (Rio, meaning "river") and a shared character for "water" in his parents' names, reflecting how his elemental roots naturally flow into the sea.
