L J English is the world's only British Enka singer. He specialises in covers of Showa Kayoukyoku and Enka. "Show Kayoukyoku" means "Pop songs from the Showa Era" (1926 to 1989).

​

"Enka" is a style of music popularised in the 50s / 60s and is best described as "Epic ballads with deep vibrato" and is often said to be the soul music of Japan.  L J brings a mix of showmanship, nostalgia and a touch of the traditional to his performances whether it is a festival, a cabaret style evening or a small scale gathering.
