My parents were performing music activities as amateur singer-songwriters and they cradled me with their music. When I listened to their songs and guitar performances, I was eager to join them and couldn't stop beating out a rhythm. That was why I started playing the drums. The drum was the first instrument in which I felt an interest in my life"At age 2, I was playing the drums as if I were playing with toys. At age 4, I started performing at concerts. At age 5, my family band "Kaneaiyoyoka" was formed by my parents. We have released 2 self-produced CD albums so far.
