Uyama Hiroto is a profound Japanese multi-instrumentalist, producer, and DJ, widely recognized for his calming blend of jazz and hip-hop influences. Born in the Aichi Prefecture, Hiroto embarked on his musical journey with a fascination for the nuanced sounds of jazz which he later integrated with the rhythmic textures of hip-hop. His career gained significant momentum through his association with the late influential producer Nujabes, who was instrumental in the development of Hiroto's signature style— a seamless amalgamation of soulful, serene melodies with intricate, laid-back beats.

His debut album "a son of the sun" (2008) was a critical success, setting the stage for a string of evocative records that showcased his distinct sound. His works like "freedom of the son" (2014) and "freeform jazz" (2016) further solidify his position as a connoisseur of ambient soundscapes, earning him a dedicated following within the niche of instrumental hip-hop. Hiroto continues to captivate listeners with poignant melodies, as evidenced in his more recent compositions such as "The Dawn of Reiwa" and "Keep on (it's my way)." Rooted in emotive musicianship, Uyama Hiroto's music isn't merely heard; it's felt, transporting listeners to introspective realms with every dulcet note.
