Guitarist and a composer in the Jazz / Fusion field. Also play bass and keyboards. With this talent, I produce my tunes and perform almost all the tracks. Mixing and mastering are also my interest.

History

1966 Born in a country side in Japan and started a child life in special music environment; there was a few popular music resources such record shop, musical instrument shop, however, his father was a music teacher, so his life was a relatively rich in musical aspect. He was enjoying to touch the piano without any special feelings. 1972 Started learning the violin, because his elder sister was learning the piano. 1976 Composed his first song. It was very short piece about a kind of fish that he didn't like. 1977 He started to play the accoustic guitar. 1978 He started to play the electric guitar. 1979 He made his first band. For that band, he started composing regularly. That band made an album, cassette tape, of 10 original songs. 1985 Entered to a college. He had much time to throw his energy into music.
