■Biography■ From the early 90’s, I was working as a guitarist and a composer of bands such as Funk, Rock and jazz fusion. In the 00s, I came to show interest to the club jazz which was in fashion those days with interest also at club music, such as House Music.Moved to Tokyo later, I withdraw completely from the music with the band frustrated.

The track which I sent to the USA label”Soul Shift Music” is caught by an owner's eyes, and I contracted with that label. I released 2 EPs and Remix Works. I participated in various compilation such as the Miami big event WMC etc. The rank in of the compilation in which I participated was carried out to the higher rank from door to door by Zip DJ Top40 National House Chart etc.

In 2012, I released several EPs taking advantage of the Remix offer having been carried out from “Rectangle Recordings (Rectangle Label)” of Spain. I deal with remix works, such as an artist of Denmark, and am released from the label of Germany “Hotspot” or Slovakia “Ista” during much of the same period.

In 2013, I began DJ activity little by little in the intervals of composition, and also held the irregular small party. I formed the omni-directional music MERET project involving all such underground and media art with Tomoyuki Kawamura (MUU) of the Grand Prize at the Japan Media Arts Festival and the artist Takahiko Sakai. The first rank in of Chillout Track released from Soul Shift Music was independently carried out to International Charts and Europe Charts of Deejayworx.The Chillout track was recorded on the compilation label LW Recordings of Canada, after that. In addition, the compilation of Rectangle in which I participated becomes a year with much attention, such as being recommended by Weekly Featured of Beatport.

In 2014, I am going to release from "Broken Trax" of UK (House label "Mac Da Knife") to Drum'N'Bass Track. and,I offered original track to Remix Contest of the Japanese workshop label “Rude Loops”. Track with the female singer-songwriter Jean Honeymoon of UK which does collaboration together with many artist or Warner's compilation participation is due to release from House Label"Do It Now Recordings" of South Africa. In addition, I plan to launch regularly House Party together with talented DJs who not only the latest release from the Rectangle. The present, House, Lounge, Electronic, Chillout, Nu Jazz, Vocal tracksetc -- I am building original music from various viewpoints.
