Biography

edit

He grew up listening to YMO, EW&F, etc. under my father's influence from a young age, and discovered TM NETWORK when I was in elementary school. Interested in synthesizers. When he entered junior high school, he bought an MSX and a synthesizer and began composing music. He is influenced by various works both domestically and internationally, including Takkyu Ishino and Teitowa. I am deeply impressed by the dynamic Japanese artists. After entering high school, he started DJing, and was influenced by the remix work of Dub Master Established DaBLADE RECORDS to release CDs. He frequently DJs and remixes as RAM RIDER, and has also taken part in ELT and Ayumi Hamasaki's works as a remixer. In 2002, he appeared at the New York Tokyo Music Festival in New York, where he DJed with Yukihiro Fukutomi, whom he admires, and others. Currently, his music is mainly focused on house, disco, and techno. He makes full use of filter effects to create sounds similar to those of DaftPunk, and provides remixes and music. Since 2003, he has taken up vocals himself and has been accompanied by support members. Currently performing live.
