Imani Sawyer

About

Behind her polished K-pop exterior, Imani Sawyer harbors a collector's obsession with obscure vinyl records and forgotten jazz riffs from her grandmother's era. When the stage lights dim and choreography fades, she transforms into an archivist of sound, meticulously preserving musical memories others have abandoned.

Backstory

Nobody believed the old music box could predict the future, but every time seven-year-old Imani wound its delicate mechanism, she heard melodies that wouldn't exist for another decade. The antique belonged to her grandmother, a former radio DJ who had smuggled forgotten songs across three countries before settling in their small Japanese town. When Imani finally heard those same ethereal notes playing from a Seoul trainee practice room at sixteen, she knew the music box had been calling her toward this moment all along. She auditioned with one of those prophetic melodies, her voice weaving the mysterious tune into a haunting performance that left judges speechless. Her debut album 'Echoes of Home' became a phenomenon when fans discovered each track contained fragments of songs that had been lost to time—melodies only Imani seemed capable of remembering.
