BIGBOB AMEMIYA

PROFILE IN ENGLISH
Hi There,
I am a Japanese DJ and specialized in1940's-60's Swing, Jumpin' Jive, Rhythm'n'Blues, Rock'n'Roll, Mambo, Mod, Ska, and Caribbean Calypsos.
I started my Proffessional DJ carrier since 1983 at my home town's local discotheque when I was only 17 years old...Of course I already Loved Rock'n'Roll Music at that time...but I was Playing Proper Disco Tunes 'cause it was my job.
In 1985, I Moved Tokyo and went several clubs very often to make friends and to get a chance for Become a Rock'n'Roll DJ.
In 1986, finally I got the chance to have a regular gig at "SHIMOKITA NIGHT CLUB"(very legendary venue in tokyo's night life scene)on every sunday night.
And so on, I have got some residents at several venues and now I'm having gigs not only in japan...I appear some big festivals(Hemsby, Rhythm Riot @ England, or Viva Las Vegas Weekend @ U.S.A.),and some local clubs in london (ex.Gaz's Rockin' Blues @ St Moritz, Lady Luck Club @ Soho Revue Bar, Hellzapoppin' @ Cecil Sharp House, Lost & Found @ Madame Jojo's and Legendary100club etc).
Also, I have compiled "The Boogie Shack" CD series on japanese "home of the blues" P-Vine records and broadcasting podcast program "BigBob's Boogie Shack Radio"(will be updated on every sunday)
