Music and art have always been major inspirations to me since I was a little girl.
I am forever thankful to my mother, who taught me the importance of expressing who I am by providing me with musical instruments and allowing me to draw all over the house walls.
I thank my father, who taught me to use my time wisely, to cherish my roots, and to acknowledge what is happening in the world today. I am grateful for receiving my daughter, who constantly allows me to realize through interaction that energy I bring out, whether positive or negative, comes right back at me.
I have been noticing that friendship born and ties made among people through art are rapidly expanding to a global scale. It truly fascinates me that we are living in an era where values and information can be shared globally.
I sincerely hope that our earth as a whole will regain its health.
I sincerely hope that energy formed by our souls come to the world and linger. The time has come for us to put an end to our thoughts that energy is disposable.
On that basis, I hope art will eternally retain its freedom(I can’t live without its venom and stimulation. (laugh)).
Keyco’s limited sales of “Spiral Squall” on vinyls in 1999 attracted a great deal of attention and was ranked 1st in Hokkaido FM network NORTH WAVE’s “Street Flavor’s Request Chart” for six months.
Keyco followed this by making her debut from a major record label the next year, and have released four original albums and five concept albums over the years.
Keyco’s sense of creatively using many facets of her voice is something rarely seen among Japanese female vocalists.
Although Keyco considers new soul as the foundation of her music, she is constantly seeking new horizons incorporating essences of reggae, funk, drum’n bass, jazz, and broken beats into her music. She has collaborated with many prominent artists active in various front lines. Such musical versatility by itself makes her stand out in the musical arena. Keyco’s widely accepted originality is continuously expanding, and is even starting to cross borders. She recently received an offer from a foreign artist.
Keyco gave birth to her first daughter in 2002. This new page in her life has also inspired her to seek for a simpler, yet compassionate message and a new form of soul music to deliver it.
Since 2004, Keyco has expanded her field to act, with her thought "searching for a new sound of today under her conscious focusing on fusing digital and acoustic". In fact, since 2004, she has taken her part in a crew called "nbsa+×÷", which is formed by many bands playing future-styled club music. Also since 2005, she has performed her showcase with her backing band called "Kokyo" formed by members of Port:scape. In 2006, Keyco and LIBRO, a famous Japanese rapper and track maker, formed electronic unit called "Fuuri" while she has gotten more deeply involved in a collaboration with HIFANA & ZAMURAI for over four years since 2005. Keyco has now started expressing the other side of her talent developed as an illustrator and a jewelry designer.
“Zga” is a very obscure, obsolete, and peculiar Russian word. It means something really miniscule and in the contemporary language it survived only as a part of an expression ni zgi ne vidno - “pitch dark”.
