About Me

I am Makoto, music creater and sometimes perform as a keyboardist at major concerts. I have had piano lessons since 3, and also took trombone lessons when I was a junior high school student. I began creating my own style of music when I was in high school.
I feel as if music is part of me and lives within me as any musician would say so.
I graduated from Nihon University College of Art and majored in 'Information of Music'. So I have a lot of knowledge about audio theory; the way analyzing music/sound.
I started to work as a musician during college creating BGM of commercial or BGM of promotion videos and so on. But I also had several experiences with Sugashikao (Japanese major artist) and was on his music video as a keyboardist so check and see if you can find me! ha ha.
From my college days till now, I have began to perform for major artist as I said at the top but for all this to happen, it is through many struggles and experiences which I am thankful of.
After graduation, I passed the audition organized by Sony Music Japan and started having jobs as a real music creator.
My actual goal is to go to the US and challenge as a music creator. So I am very eager to find the thing that will trigger me to move to the US.
Anyway, please check out my music!!
