Tarot was born and raised in Tokyo. Growing up around the influence of music it was only obvious that his goal at sixteen was to get a pair of turntables and learn how to DJ. Starting out Djing block parties and sweet sixteen’s, he knew this was the life he wanted to lead. He grew up listening to a variety of ethnic music. As a result, his musical sound resonates with percussive beats and tribal rhythms. As a producer, he puts a dark, techy, tribal sound that also wanders into progressive.

In 1998, after Tarot graduated from college in Tokyo, he decided to move to New York to learn more music. He entered music school to be an engineer (Institute of Audio Research). After he graduated, he started his career as a studio engineer at some dance music studios in NYC. He spent a lot of time teaching himself the basics of midi and learning how to produce. In the meanwhile, he got some dj gigs as well. He made several guest performances at  Limelight, Filter 14, Liquid, and Neo Gea, to name a few.

After a few years later, he decided to start his own productions and remix projects. Tarot's tracks have received turntable action from the likes of Stephan K., Saeed Younan, That Kid Chris and many others. His new track entitled "Everything U Feel" will be released on Ready Mix Records by the end of 2006. He is currently in the studio working on original productions and remixes, and has teamed up with Bob Marbach for some deep house projects.

Tarot returned to Tokyo in May 2006. After settling in and learning a little more about the industry, he has been working on his album project with a Japanese label. Tarot is definitely off to a great start in the crazy world of house music. His Djing and production reputation has come to speak for itself. Through his devotion, desire and passion for his music. Tarot will continue to bring us the music.
