Shinnobu is a musical project of Costa Rican origin, started in 2012, that combines elements of electronic, ambient, New Age, and choral music. This project, led by Shinobu Entsu (anonymous artist), has gained worldwide recognition thanks to its unique style, characterized by a mix of synthesizers, mystical choirs, and evocative melodies that seek to connect the listener with introspective and spiritual experiences. Despite his relative anonymity, Shinnobu has captured the attention of an international audience, especially on platforms such as YouTube and Spotify, where his music has gone viral through videos and playlists dedicated to the “Enigma” style and sounds that induce meditation and reflection.
Origin and creation
The Shinnobu project originated in Costa Rica as a creative and personal response by the artist to the experiences and internal transformations he had lived through.
Inspired by mystical and spiritual influences, as well as New Age groups, Shinnobu adopts a similar musical philosophy by combining ethereal vocals, soft percussion, and atmospheric melodies, with lyrical and visual themes that explore mysticism, spirituality, and self-knowledge.
According to the artist's own statements, Shinnobu's music is born from a deep connection with nature and a search for peace and personal transcendence.
The name “Shinnobu” is also a pseudonym that reflects the intention to remain anonymous. In his words, anonymity allows the artist to express his art without the restrictions or external judgments of a public figure, allowing the music to speak for itself and connect with each listener in a more personal way.
