XTAL’s music career took off in 1995. He teamed up with his friend k404 as the DJ duo Traks Boys, who also produced numbers of their own music including “Starburst / Yellow Birds” released under Internasjonal, a Norwegian record label organized by Prins Thomas.
Crystal, his solo project, maintains constant releases from labels such as Crue-L Records, Beats In Space Records .
As a DJ, he keeps the weekend floors floaty, euphoric and groovy. In 2016, he not only renewed his alias to XTAL –still the same pronunciation as Crystal– but released his 1st solo album “Skygazer” from Crue-L Records. The album is conceptually experimental but still clearly shows his endless interest in and love for House, Techno, Disco, and Japanese City Pops.

95年からDJを開始。川崎工場地帯の某工場屋上にて行われているインダストリアル・レイブパーティー「DK SOUND」で、k404とのTraks BoysとしてレジデントDJを務める。Jun Kamodaとのバンド(((さらうんど)))、Your Song Is Goodのギタリスト吉澤成友とのユニット、様々な海外レーベルで活躍する岡山在住のダンスミュージック・プロデューサー、KEITA SANOとのユニットでも、精力的にリリースを重ねる。ソロとしては、Crue-L Recordsからの1st『Skygazer』（2016年）、自主レーベルCizimaからの2nd『Aburelu』（2020年）に続き、カクバリズムより3rdアルバム『EKO』を2024年にリリース。
