August Pemberton lived in New York as a child before he moved back to the UK at 7 years old. At university, he studied computer science, and after graduating, he moved to Bristol, where he’s currently based. Pemberton grew up in a musical family and began playing the piano at a young age. While making software at university (he studied computer science), his piano playing naturally progressed into using music software and producing his own music under the name “Imagiro”. Soon he became very well respected by fellow artists in the lo-fi music field (Blue Wednesday, Aso, Arbor, Tennyson, Ford) and has collaborated with other established lo-fi artists. In 2020, he sampled his family piano and created the plugin “Imagiro Piano” to virtually play it in any DAW. The plugin is now the most used piano plugin in lo-fi music and has become a recognizable sound in top lo-fi editorial playlists. Pemberton’s supporters include several incredibly influential musicians within the folk/electronic space (Daedelus, Tennyson, quickly, quickly, Andrew Huang) who appreciate both his work in music creation and music tech.
