Born in Yokohama. Influenced by his parents who ran a record store in the 80s, he grew up listening to SADE and HALL&OATES from an early age, and was inspired by the golden age of hip hop in the early 90s, which led him to start DJing in earnest. His comfortable groove-filled performances, which seem to weave a variety of genres of music together in a single line, have earned him the support of audiences as well as many fellow performers both in Japan and overseas, making him a DJ who can definitely dance. In March 2008, he was selected as the front act for CRAZY KEN BAND's "ZERO TOUR," expanding his field of activity, and in recent years he has been active in a wide range of fields, not limited to clubs, such as DJing in New York and various Asian countries, as well as high-end venues such as parties and hotels for major brands, and DJing at outdoor festivals. He has also been in charge of Abema Mix, which is broadcast live every Monday on the Abema TV HIPHOP channel that was launched in January 2017, for five years, and was also selected to appear on the popular program "mynameis" on the same channel, raising expectations for his future activities. And his numerous mix works, which have been released regularly without interruption for over 20 years, are supreme works that condense his pursuit of musicality beyond genres and live-like playing, and he has solidified the support of good music lovers all over Japan, releasing official mixes from numerous labels. In addition, he opened a YouTube channel in 2023 and started the "Eternal Views" series, which features beautiful video and DJ mixes.
