☆About J-Stream (Jhett a.k.a Yakko)☆

　J-Stream started his DJ career at clubs mainly in Tokyo, Japan in the early '90s. He experienced all the elements of the HIP HOP culture, including RAP, DJ, DANCE, and He successively won the grand prize in many contests. He forged "AQUARIUS", a team produced by his reunion with DELI, a rapper, whom he had known before. He developed his talent and became gradually caught up in creating music. Afterwards, He gained renown widely due to his outstanding performances at the underground HIP HOP scenes. He has worked on many important works in the Japanese HIP HOP, which include "NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND" （its best rank in the Oricon's hit chart was 4th）, a top ranker and a treasure in the Japanese underground HIP HOP as well as its members such as DABO, S-WORD, DELI, XBS, SUIKEN, BIG Z, and also King Giddra. He has earned the trust of artists, to say nothing of listeners. 　Furthermore, he was also engaged in "SUITE CHIC", a single CD projected by Namie Amuro, a diva in Asia, and produced tunes of the R&B sound for Kaname Kawabata of CHEMISTRY, AI, HI-D, MICHICO, and TSUBAKI. This emerging talent, in which a peculiar pathetic pop sense is maintained while at the same time the HIP HOP characteristics are thoroughly pursued, has been accepted with a new impression at the mass market, and has increasingly gained the popularity widely and got a lot of attention. 　He is still actively doing DJ, her career's starting point, at the parties across the nation, and has established a position representing the Japanese DJ field, as he is receiving offers incessantly from such as "BIG WEDNESDAY", an event at HARLEM in Shibuya, "Tokyo City" at Camelot in Shibuya, and overseas CLUBs. His selection of tunes, which balances hardcore and pop music superbly in the same way he does in his producing work, continues to rock the floors in the country with a wide variety of music selection, including Hip-Hop, R&B, Rock, and House, etc. 　And finally in '05, he made a spectacular debut as a solo artist. 　With the innovative sound maneuvering skill as his weapon, which can be called "New Japanese R&B", he started JHETT from AVEX as a solo project to tackle on a "Singer's business" in full-scale, and Namie Amuro, Kumi Koda, Sowelu, and even LENA PARK, a top star in South Korea, participated in the project. This recorded marvelous sales and had a smashing success. In addition, he released MY HOOD IZ..., a RAP album, from TOSHIBA EMI, and the album is extending its sales strongly.
