Keiju

Over a number of years, Keiju has travelled the world to see many countries, to know Mother Earth in all her forms and to bring his music to all who might benefit from it.

His style of music includes so many elements? Rock, jazz, folk, ethnic, classic and Indian which he combines to create something new and inspiring in the word of music, music that reaches out beyond the mind, representing the heart of Peace and joy to the people who are touched by his music.

About 20 years Keiju was based in Thailand where he developed his ideals and worked in many fields of music including pop, jazz, rock and writing movie scores with some of his songs selling more than 60,000 copies in Thailand. A top producer and session guy, he also played guitar on a number of million-selling albums and produced his own solo albums too.

For the last ten years of his stay there he was the producer / arranger and engineer for one of Thailand's biggest selling balladeers --Khun'Jae' Danuporn --with whom he also traveled the world visiting many countries.

Keiju then left the commercial side of music and went to study instead the rhythms and tonality of Indian and Balinese music, which helped shape his compositional and playing skills as well as broaden his writing skills, and widening the sound and appeal of his own special music ..

In 2002 he returned to Japan to devote himself to his music, his young family, and the fate of Mother Earth. Today, he, his wife and four beautiful children live deep in seclusion in the quiet and inspiring mountains of Japan.
