Three centuries ago in ancient Japan, a young swordsmith's impeccable work earned him the position of swordmaker to a king. His speciality was in producing swords that were small enough to be carried by the king for self-defence or the grave act of harakiri. This young man spent all his waking hours focused on the production of these swords, which were the greatest in all the land and earned him the name 'Ittetsu' or 'One Iron'. He dedicated his life to swordmaking, perfecting his skills through hours of practice, locked away on his own quietly crafting an armoury for the king. This solitary work ethic was embedded in Ittetsu's DNA and the family's connection to iron was passed down from one generation to the next...



His lineage can be traced all the way up to the modern-day, leading directly to the subject of this story who has taken on his forefather's name – Ittetsu. A member of London's infamous Fuse collective, Ittesu (AKA 33-year-old …......) possesses the same characteristics as his great ancestors, instilling a level of commitment to his music that is hard to find in today's fast-paced climate. Preferring to take his time on his productions, patiently tailoring subtle nuances to cultivate a sound that is all his own, Ittetsu's approach to making music is as precise as the work of the 17th Century swordmaker he has descended from.
