The "Godfather of HIP-POP" from Japan on his second visit to Shanghai after a great performance at Pegasus in 2005. Tickets 80rmb

After watching the film "Wild Style" in the early 80's, he was inspired, bought some decks and started to learn the art of turntablism. In 1987 he formed the Krush Posse which made numerous appearances as a group in late 1992 and gained recognition by becoming the first DJ in Japan to perform with live musicians. He released his first album "Krush," which started his presence in the scene and has since released five more. He has had recording contracts with Chance Records, Ninety Nine Records, Mo-Wax (he was the first Japanese artist to join them) Apollo and Sony/Columbia. He works internationally as a producer, re-mixer, DJ and recording artist and brings the unique flavor of the Japanese hip-hop scene to the world
