Momoka Tobari

Momoka, a Japanese artist from Tokyo, established herself in Montreal, Canada, about a decade ago, leaving Australia where she was residing at the time after being invited by Alex Henry Foster, then leader of the Juno Awards-nominated band Your Favorite Enemies, to take an active role in his different creative projects, from music to literature, short films, and all other forms of visual art. Being supported and encouraged by Foster, who kept on inviting her to release her artistic endeavors through his personal label imprint Hopeful Tragedy Records, Momoka decided it was time for her to step into her own light after the production of Foster’s multi-disciplinary project Voyage à la Mer, in which she took the center role on the album Kimiyo, singing on the entire record while also being the main figure in the motion picture associated to Foster’s extensive venture. Momoka’s debut album, Lotus Boreal, is set to be released on Hopeful Tragedy Records in early 2025.
