He began his career eight years ago, building a solid reputation through consistent performances across the Kanto region. In 2019, he took the stage at Shinkiba Studio Coast, one of Tokyo's iconic live venues.

The track has now surpassed 5 million streams, a milestone that marked his transition from underground name to national recognition.
