UTA

Producer / Composer / Track Maker / Arranger

2005年～TinyVoice,Production所属。緻密かつ計算された作り込みをなされたトラックは、R&Bシーンのみならず日本の音楽シーンに完全なる世代交代を起こした。2008年にdoubleと安室奈美恵のコラボレーション楽曲『Black Diamond』、AIとATSUSHI(EXILE)の『So Special』など注目度の高い楽曲を手掛けた頃から認知度が飛躍的に上がり、今や東方神起、EXILE、倖田來未、AI、清水翔太、青山テルマなどといったスーパーメジャーなアーティストの楽曲のオファーが絶えない。一方で、Sugar ShackのProd.にも見られるようなクラブシーンで活躍するアーティストへの目配せも忘れない制作スタイルも高く評価されている。次世代と思われていた若手が今まさにメインストリームとなっている事を体現するトラックメイカー・プロデューサーといえる。2009年には、DJ KOMORIとの共同プロデュースや、HIRO（Full of Harmony）とのプロデュースユニットHUMも始動。国内外とますます活動の場を広げている。
