About Tenaka

Tenaka started playing music two years ago when he bought his first guitar and he has been writing since. However it is only in the last few months that he has started to compose and record his delicate melodies and beats. Currently all of the songs available in the player are work in progress but will soon to be updated with completed and mastered tracks.

Tenaka is currently working on a short four track 'Drifting' Ep which will be available in the next few months in local music shops and as a free download and will be a prelude to the 'Drifting' album available later in the year. News of live shows will follow soon

Tenaka feels weird talking about himself in the third person...

Brian Canavan	Jul 5 2008 12:18 PM Thanks for the interest. i'll get a blog together with all the details but mainly there's just loads of waiting around, getting downhearted, then angry and saying "Fuck this, I'm gonna do this myself". So whilst occassion checking my gmail for replies from EMI and Sony, I'm also making deadlines for myself for a single release and finding out how its done. You seem to be doing OK with your releases.Best of luck Cheers

adam	Apr 22 2008 3:49 PM I'm a whore..shameless self-promotion is the key i reckon. it's all a platform for my inevitable rise to the top and implosion through narcotics and questionably teenage girls, Don Simpson style.
