Draft:Jalimpa
Jalimpa is a Japanese singer-songwriter. She first gained public attention in 2024 when she was certified as the "Youngest Solo Artist to Release an Album" by Guinness World Records with her first album "Nonsense Makes Sense" (2024).[1]
Jalimpa was raised surrounded by the grandeur of nature on Suo-Oshima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan. Her early years were influenced by the sounds of nature, including ocean waves, chirping insects, and singing birds.[2]
At just six months old and before really understanding the concepts of language or music, she began singing melodies. By the age of one, she would climb on to the tokonoma, a traditional Japanese alcove, acting as if it was her stage, and dance and sing.[3]
