Uyama Hiroto

Influenced by his uncle, who was also a jazz guitarist, he became familiar with music from an early age. After "Letter From Yokosuka", he was involved in many Nujabes works and performed with them in many live shows. In 2008, he released his first album, "A Son Of The Sun". After Nujabes' death in 2010, he participated as an artist in the production of the "Luv(sic) series" and "spiritual state". In 2013, he launched roph recordings in order to further pursue music of high purity. In 2014, he released his second album, "freedom of the son", six years after his previous album. Cise Star, Pase Rock, Fat Jon, and others who have been friends since the days of hydeout productions, participated as featured artists, and the songs can be considered a sequel to the first album. In 2016, he also released his third album, "freeform jazz", two years after his second album. He strongly emphasizes his identity as a Japanese person, and as a proposal for a new style of Japanese free jazz, his work is different from his previous works, and due to its originality, he was featured in the overseas magazine HYPEBEAST, and has received a lot of praise from Japanese listeners as well as listeners overseas. He is currently working on songs for his new album.
