About Me

The following info and accomplishments are just my earthly illusions:"No man is an island...I'm a peninsula
Los Angeles happa native(African+Japanese), Shiro is a pure urban renaissance man, He’s a visual artist, toy designer, musician and dj.Shiro is a true rebel and a bohemian that doesn’t like being restricted by what “they” say is appropriate, he prefers to color outside the lines with self expression that defies the norm. Unbeknownst to his art fans, Shiro is an accomplished musician that has released numerous albums on several indie record labels. He's a member of the prolific turntablist crews Muzik Fiendz, Audible Objects, and 1200 Hobos, DJ Shiro, more than a DJ... soon to be a legend in the world of new style, that I can only describe as "DARK TEMPO."Shiro has been one of the only artists to bring a new sound to this genre,with twisted, dark, brooding, and intelligently visionary sounds. His music has an indie rock feel but with a "soundtrack to life" element. Contrary to popular belief, it's possible to be a jack of all trades and a master as well, Shiro is a proficient bass guitarist, lead guitarist, turntablist and song writer currently studying tabla with Guru Aloke Dutta and Djing in the LA rock band Urban Assault.
