About

Background

Hi there! I’m a singer and software engineer who shares music with the world. Born in Osaka, Japan, I’ve been uploading my cover versions of American jazz standards to my YouTube channel since 2010. Since 2019, I’ve been collaborating with some amazing musicians and have recently launched my music career on streaming services. I’m currently working on original songs and more cover songs, with plans to release them in 2025.

Music Influence

Frank Sinatra has been my musical idol since I first discovered his music at my local library as a child. His phrasing techniques have had a huge influence on my vocal style. My musical style is classified as Adult Contemporary.
