井上ジョー JOE INOUE OFFICIAL MYSPACE

Bio:

.. 1985年生まれ。若かりし頃に渡米した両親の下、ロサンゼルスに生まれる。
彼の生まれた日にスティングのアルバム『ブルータートルの夢』を 持ち帰ったという父親から音楽の洗礼を受け、幼少期音楽に目覚める。

学生時代はバンドやマーチングバンドなども経験するが ギターを手始めにひとつひとつ覚えた楽器をもって自らのサウンドを作りはじめる。
この頃から音楽に触れる時間も増え、ニルヴァーナにハマってからというもの その後はオルタナディブ、プログレ、そしてJ-POPまでと新旧混在に音楽を聴き漁り 音楽漬けの日々を過ごす。

自宅における両親との会話は日本語、弟とは英語という家庭環境で日本語は主にコミックから習得。
数々のマンガを読み漁り、フェイバリットは『ドラゴンボールZ』『ドラえもん』 そして『行け！稲中卓球部』とまだ見ぬ日本に想像を抱く。

ちなみに日本のお笑いも大好き。

息抜きは自宅から数分という距離にあるビーチでのサーフィン。マイナスだったものがまたゼロに戻るようなポジティブなエネルギーを与えてくれる海には深い敬愛がある。

楽曲制作は全楽器・アレンジを自ら手掛け、 頭の中に鳴るものをひとつずつ自宅自室にてMTRをもって制作。
頼りは自らの脳内設計図と閃きである。

アメリカと日本という二つのカルチャーの影響を受け、 天性のミクスチャー感覚をもって新感覚のサウンドを生む新世紀型アーティスト。

JOE INOUE Official Myspace

Joe Inoue was born in Los Angeles, California under Japanese parents who moved to the states to follow their career.

He grew up in an environment filled with music, and started listening to music seriously in his middle school years.

He listened to as many types of music, no matter what the genre. By doing so, he achieved versatility in writing music.

Despite his birth in Los Angeles, Inoue never failed to learn how to speak fluent Japanese.
He accomplished this mainly by "reading crapload of mangas and watching Japanese TV shows", he says.

Gradually, Inoue started recording his own materials on a multi-track recorder, with him playing every instrument, including vocals, guitar, bass, drums, etc. Hell, he even produces/arranges/mixes his own songs!

In 2005, he decided to send few of his demos to Japan, and signed a record deal with Ki/oon Records.

Inoue released his debut e.p."IN A WAY" in 2007, followed by his first single "HELLO!".
His second and latest single "CLOSER" will be hitting stores last December.
