About Me


"this is the closest singing to John and George I've ever heard"...
Jim Keltner

As A Rock Band


Heday Marcy's songs are written and arranged using techniques and concepts of classical music. We are trying to make music that The Beatles would be making if they did not break up. Someone led the music industry in a wrong direction, so we have to bring the real music back to the scene.
Currently we are working with a Japanese legendary artist-producer Doctor Osamu Kitajima(www.eastquest.com) to change the world!! Heday recorded the Beatles' Nowhere Man with Jim Keltner, who was a drummer for John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
Japanese people can make good electric devices, cars and so on with thier own creative ideas, so why not music? I guess we can. haha. We hope someday you will join us.

As A Guitarist


I have received BA in classical guitar from UCLA. I studied with Scott Tennant of Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, Noboru Muraji (a father and teacher of a famous guitarist Kaori Muraji), Petter Yates and Eishun Fukui
Please message me for guitar lessons.

As A String Arranger


Heday Mercury's arrangements are done according to the classical music theory, and yet have nice rock feel. My clients have told me that my arrangements reminded them of George Martin's. I have my own great sting players ready for sessions. If you need string arrangements for your material, please feel free to contact me.
