KOJI began playing guitar at 13, performing in Tokyo clubs by 15, and later expanded into producing, songwriting, and multi-instrumental recording while also working as a model, actor, and even race car driver. Returning to music, he focused on vocals and guitar, producing his album NW8 at Abbey Road Studios — the first full album by a Japanese artist recorded there — which received strong acclaim during tours in the U.K. and U.S. Now based in Los Angeles, KOJI continues his career collaborating with venues like Whisky a Go Go and various artists.
