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 Womb, 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 Stephane K., Chus & Ceballos, That Kid Chris and many others. He has hit the headlines recently when his track 'Everything You Feel' was remixed by the one and only DJ Vibe. He is currently in the studio working on original productions and remixes. Tarot returned to Tokyo in May of 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. DiscographyProduction● To The Beat - Tarot (Womb Rec.) (2001)● Feel The Music - Serebe & Tarot feat.
