Artist Profile

• Kenny.S .a.k.a. GEISHAMAN

  Kenny S, also known as GEISHA-MAN, is a great-great-grandson of Enju, a prominent Yanagibashi geisha known for her traditional Edo roots. His great-grandmother was skilled in dance, shamisen, and song during the Meiji era. His grandfather, Sakyo Kineya, was a businessman and nagauta singer, while his grandmother, Katoo Kineya, was a shamisen player. Originally from Tokyo and now living in Hokkaido, he is an interior, music, and visual creator. Raised in a unique household by Russel C. Jackson, a music-loving U.S. Air Force Colonel, he was influenced by the American music of the 1960s and 1970s broadcasted by the Far East Network, which inspired him to pick up the guitar. As a child, he had an unusual obsession with sound, often recording nature with a stereo recorder and microphone after school. He would listen to these recordings in his room, immersing himself in the memories of those moments. He began his career as a solo artist and later joined EZO ROCK AMATO, a band mentored by the Chuckberry Rock 'n' Roll Band, as a guitar vocalist. They performed classic rock covers and released original songs, completing over 100 live performances each year for two years. With the mission of "sharing the beauty of music and liberating live music," he founded a sound production company called Hibikiya Sohonpo. He organized free live performances in various locations, operating the sound system while performing as a guitar vocalist. After two and a half years of intense band activities and over 100 live shows annually, he left the band for personal reasons, leading to a freeze in his music activities. He then started a tattoo studio in Sapporo called Mountain High Tattoo Works. In October 2024, he plans to resume his music activities, linking his design work with his previously frozen music career. He aims to combine his expertise in interior design to present his work as an "Interior, Music, and Visual Creator."
