About Me


For those of you who have not heard me at Otakon, or at my private concert in Baltimore the same weekend, or at Zentrancon in October 2005, or anyplace else, I am a 22 year-old Japanese-mixed male & am a professional Japanese/Korean vocal musician. I have been singing since I was a lil boy, with my first recording being when I was in kindergarten at Manoa Elementary School in Havertown, PA, singing "10 Little Indians" ^_^. Since then, I have moved on to become a major member of all the top vocal groups my academic career had to offer. Among other milestones in my young vocal career, I have sung on the opening day of The Kimmel Centre Of The Performing Arts in Philadelphia PA, in addition to winning various district & region-wide vocal festivals, & helping my vocal groups to gain top honors in vocal ajudications up & down the east coast. I have recorded various singles & 2 demo albums ("Watashi Wa..../I Am...." & "Ai no Chikara/The Power Of Love"), both of which are available for purchase here in the Shoppe's "CD Centrale" section. As of earlier this year (2007), I released a full-length album, "Tamashi no Rufuran (Soul's Refrain)", featuring Anime classics & Asian music standards with the intent of capturing international vocal opportunities. I am very thankful & feel blessed to be able to share my love of Japanese/Korean vocal music performance with my family, friends, & fans. With each of my performances, I hope to solidify my place in at least 1 person's heart & soul, knowing that I made a positive change in their lives. Signed or unsigned, I will continue to do what I love ^-^.
