Yui (official: YUI) is a Japanese musician, born March 26, 1987 in Fukuoka, Japan. She is signed to Sony Music Records Japan.

Yui began writing poems in ninth grade. At the age of sixteen, by recommendation of her mother, she began studying songs, songwriting and guitar-playing at a private music school in her hometown Fukuoka. Aspiring to become a professional, she carried her guitar around and sang at local places such as the seashore of Shingu, and in the middle of the rice fields of Kaminofu. Even though she often feels uncomfortable when talking to people, she still enjoys communicating with her audiences at street performances in the Tenjin district of Fukuoka.
