BIOGRAPHY
Masaki grew up listening to disco music such as Donna Summer and ABBA. His interest came from his mother and a large number of friends who are DJs. since 2007 he began his career as a house music DJ in numerous clubs in Kobe and Osaka. Of note he worked at Gastro pub Spark and Troop cafe in Kobe. Building a tireless storyline, interwoven with the latest house music, centered around disco music from the 90's Chicago house, he has a reputation for delicate mix work that values floor tone. 
 
In 2008, he planned the all-night live event "Invasion" inviting DJs and rock bands from all over West Japan. In 2009, he created a house, techno and electro party "SOURCE" at Trinity bar in Kobe. He wanted people to have a place where they can reconnect to their essence and bring back their childhood playfulness which lead to creating “SOURCE”. He played there for 5 years.
In 2013, he organized and played at a party with Chicago house legend Luke Solomon in triangle club in Osaka. He planned a DJ & live party "otonomad" for the whole of the house at guest house yumenomad, Shinkaichi in 2013 and 2015. 
Inspired by soundtracks from anime series Akira, Masaki went to Bali, Indonesia to learn the musical instrument gamelan. Being inspired by islamic traditional clothing during his stay in Indonesia, he created a hijab with Japanese traditional clothing kimono as a token to local Indonesian people in Kobe. This lead to the creation of his clothing brand Tsunagu - meaning connection, symbolizing connection between Japan and Indonesia.
