Bio

I'm Japanese guitarist/musician named Takashi Masuzaki... Call me " Taka "
Looking forwards to meet you guys somewhere!

I was born in a small town in Nagasaki City on the west side of Japan. In childhood.... Perhaps, on 10 years old (sorry, I didn't remember well..) I started to play the guitar by my brothers influence. It is starting point of my music life. When I was kids, I was crazy about a TOP40 music. It's as well as usual kids. Gradually I was infected with Rock and Jazz music. However, I didn't think that I wanna become a professional musician at that time. Because fishing and basketball was the most important enjoyment more than play the music at that time. I think that it's a natural choice when born in a beautiful place Nagasaki. Have you ever visited to my home town? There are so beautiful nature and wonderful culture. Please visit to Nagasaki City, if you can. People and nature will welcome you. And, you'll be able to obtain various histories of Nagasaki, the cultures, and the blessings of nature. I moved to this crazy town called Tokyo when I was 18 years old.

I started to work as a professional guitarist. It was 20 years old.
First of all, I worked as a backup musician with various artists. Such every day continued for about 7 years. It was a pleasant experience (yeah, it was really fun everyday!). Because I was able to go to various cities and was able to watch beautiful scenery.

I started the career as the solo guitarist in 1990. 2 albums(1st album "SPEAKS", 2nd album "ESCAPE") were released as a Takashi Masuzaki's solo album in 2 years. Afterwards I acts as a leader/Guitarist of the instrumental music band "DIMENSION" since 1992. This group has Kazuki Katsuta as Saxophone player, and Akira Onozuka as Keyboards player. They has a wonderful creative musical sense and so much talent. I really wish to express my gratitude that i can make music with my wonderful mates. I think I'm so lucky. Because, 23 albums have been released as DIMENSION. And, it reaches a worldwide scale. The day when new music can be made with you guys is not too far. YES, I sincerely wish that.

Now, I'm just preparing to MY 3rd SOLO ALBUM!! I'm so excited to make it! It will be out on SPRING on 2011! I will inform you very soon. Currently Dimension has released a new album "23". It can get any countries on itunes music store and amazon store also. Please check it out and hope to enjoy our new CD "23". So I'm looking forward to see you soon anywhere! Thank you for everything!!!

Taka
