FUNKY GONG
FUNKY GONG, also known as MINORU TSUNODA, is a music producer and DJ/guitarist. Started playing classical guitar at the age of 12, he started composing music during junior high school. After graduating from high school, he pursued studies in Acoustic Engineering at Kyushu Institute of Technology. During his studies, he simultaneously engaged in band activities heavily influenced by alternative rock and funk, while learning the fundamental knowledge of sound engineering.

After graduation, while working as a sound engineer at live houses, he also started band activities. In 1998, he joined TSUYOSHI SUZUKI's unit "JOUJOUKA," which blended techno-trance with rock, and made a major debut from Toshiba EMI. He collaborated with various artists such as Tadanobu Asano, Sayoko Yamaguchi, YOUTH, Toshio Nakanishi, Poppy Kikuchi, Sandy, THE MAD CAPSULE MARKETS, SUGIZO, SYSTEM7, among others.

Simultaneously, under the artist name "FUNKY GONG," he began producing original techno-trance tracks as a DJ using DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). He released six albums as JOUJOUKA and three albums as FUNKY GONG. He performed five times in total at the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL and conducted performances in 13 countries including NYC and London. Additionally, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he executed a challenging idea by releasing 100 original tracks focusing on the theme of "Chill Out" on the music distribution site "Bandcamp" within four months. This initiative aimed at improving his musical skills further, engaging with fans, and expanding his fan base.

Continuing beyond his role as a DJ/artist, FUNKY GONG remains actively engaged in activities such as releasing original tracks, Remix Work, and establishing the online DTM school "FUZZ MUSIC SCHOOL." For more information, you can visit their website at https://fuzzmusicschool.com/
