Finding spirit music in senior high school, he attempted to overcome America, carrying out at amateur evenings in the Apollo Theatre in NY on two events in 2007 and 2008 to great reception, but proceeded to go for Japan in the long run, documenting with Dohzi-T and Miliyah Kato in 2007 and liberating his debut single single, “House,” actually before his second Apollo appearance. “House” only obtained number five for the Oricon, but proceeded to go precious metal in Japan, moving 128,000 devices. Two pursuing singles got worse sales, but nonetheless allowed his debut recording, Umbrella, to rating number 2 and go yellow metal in past due 2008. The seat tickets for his debut tour in ’09 2009 flew off per day.
