Shigeto

Shigeto is the stage name of Zachary Saginaw, an American electronic musician from Ann Arbor, Michigan, whose music is an eclectic blend of instrumental hip-hop, jazz-infused ambience, and futuristic electronica. Shigeto means "to grow bigger" in Japanese, a fitting moniker that reflects both his Japanese heritage and the evolution of his textured and layered soundscapes. Shigeto's sonic signature is characterized by intricate, syncopated rhythms and heavily detailed productions that reveal new depths upon each listen.

Having debuted in the late 2000s with a series of EPs, Shigeto quickly established himself as an artist with a unique vision and sound. His works, including full-length albums like 2013's "No Better Time Than Now" and 2017's "The New Monday," have earned critical accolades for their organic synthesis of live instrumentation and adept electronic manipulation. A master of crafting mood and atmosphere, Shigeto's recent remixes such as "Hotel San Claudio," "Strings," and "The Creator Has a Master Plan Part II," showcase his ability to infuse his own stylistic elements into a diverse range of source material, further cementing his reputation as a versatile and imaginative force in the contemporary electronic music scene.
