Lionmilk

Lionmilk is Mokichi Kawaguchi: pianist, composer, and producer.

Born in LA, he grew up listening to his mother’s classical radio in the morning, to his brother’s hip hop CDs during the day and his father’s jazz records in the evening. From the thriving underground electronic music scene to the expansive local jazz community, his work reflects the city’s ever changing tendencies.

Lionmilk signed to Stones Throw and released his first album with the label, WHEN THE FLOWERS BLOOM, in 2025.
