Emi, Yusuke, Takashi, and Sungjo met at Citrus College in 2005.We soon started jamming and writing songs together, we then became a “band”. Yusuke and Takashi named our band “Emi Kasai Band”. Later we met a young talented pianist, Akane who plays classical music very well at our school, and she joined us in 2006. Max our crazy trumpet player joined us in 2007, and last but never the least Jonathan who plays a smooth Sax joined us in 2008.
When we all met we were learning Jazz at school. We all of love Jazzy styled music such as: Jazz, Fusion, Funk, Acid Jazz, Smooth Jazz, and Funk Rock.
When we create songs you can feel the jazz type fever we blend into them.
From 2005 to 2006, we got our bands start by playing at the 2nd St. Jazz Club, Awakenings Coffee House, Christian Music Festivals and many Japanese Festivals. We start booking more shows at a lot of Venues and showcases in all over the LA area in 2007.
We later joined the Battle of the Bands at B.B King's in summer of 2007 we came in 3rd place out of 60 bands. We were then chosen by our school to record an album and we were extremely shocked that they chose us. So in 2008 we began to record are first album, “Forever with you!” at the Sound Studios of Citrus College with the amazing help from Engineer & Producer, Tim Jaquette.
Since then we have learned and grown so much in the past years as a band and continue to play at many different venues and competitions. We all share an intense passion for music and would like to share it with the world one day on an international scale!
