Hi!
I'm Kenta from Japan.
Just call me ‘Ken’ It’s easy.
I was born in Tokyo and raised in Ibaraki pref.
After graduating from a high school in Ibaraki,
I went to a university in Tokyo to study music.
After that, I worked part-time jobs related to music, and finally became a resident DJ in Shibuya, organizing various events and also working in lighting and sound.
I have also performed alongside world-famous artists that everyone knows.
After working as a DJ for several years, I started a company that imports plants.
Our products are mainly rare plants from around the world.
I import them and wholesale them to businesses.
I have traveled to many countries around the world since my DJ days.
I have performed in Asian countries, studied English in South Africa, and even went to Canada to see the Aurora.
