Hello music lovers! I'm Shu Hakamada, a Japanese singer-songwriter born on 1959. I suffered hearing loss in 2006 and was forced to give up my career as a professional musician in my mid-40s. Since then, I was away from music for over 15 years, but in 2024 I returned with a new passion.

'Restart' represents my musical rebirth, featuring a journey through diverse melodies and harmonies - from upbeat anthems to soul-searching ballads. Drawing inspiration from The Beatles, classic rock and roll, and Motown, these songs explore themes of love, grief, and hope.

This album was created entirely at home, with all tracks played, recorded, and mixed by myself.

Creating 'Restart' was like rediscovering a part of myself I thought I'd lost. It's living proof that age is no barrier to pursuing new dreams. We were all born to run - to chase our passions, overcome challenges, and reinvent ourselves at any stage of life.

Artist Profile

  • Shu Hakamada

    I create universal melodic pop, heavily inspired by The Beatles and classic roots music. The core of my music is raw, human expression (Human-Led Music). From composing and arranging to playing the guitar, bass, and other instruments, all the way to production, I am completely dedicated to a hands-on approach. In an age overflowing with AI and technology, I want to deliver real, authentic sounds where you can directly feel the warmth and breath of the creator music that simply makes you feel the pure joy of a great song.
