didi found one another on the edges of the Columbus OH music scene in 2013. At University, singer/guitarist Meg Zakany and drummer Sheena McGrath began jamming together as a means of exorcising life's frustrations, then drafted in two musicians they'd admired from afar in the local DIY scene: singer/guitarist Kevin Bilapka-Arbelaez and singer/bassist Leslie Shimizu. All American, with roots in Japan, Colombia, and Mexico, didi are four friends who by embracing their different backgrounds, creative ambitions and songwriting styles, seek to give context and bring personal depth to the music they make together. They showcased at SXSW 2018, embarked on a US tour in July and have shared stages with Speedy Ortiz, Saintseneca, Japanese Breakfast, Jay Som, and Sad13.
