artist / musician based in Puertollano Spain, and Yokohama Japan
As a Guitarist
I have been playing the guitar for over 15 years. As a guitarist, I had the privilege of participating in my final project with Bel Sacci & Tomodachis, a Latin jazz band based in Tokyo, Japan. Our music resonated with audiences at various venues, including festivals, parties, bars, restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, and even on the streets. Unfortunately, our journey came to an end when the band split up, coinciding with the onset of the pandemic. Afterwards, I pursued my study in jazz guitar, and jazz theory with musician/multi-instrumentalist Giovanni Calderini, at The American Guitar Academy.
After the pandemic, I shifted my focus to producing electronic music, building on my teenage experience of programming music on my drum machines, synths, and computer. My time spent working with a sound engineer at a local live house in Yokohama allowed me to learn the engineering side of production on the DAW. I have since explored various genres of electronic music, including synthwave, chillwave, ambient, hiphop, trap, techno, and more experimental styles. My passion for creating music has led me to continuously improve my skills and experiment with different sounds and techniques.
Isezaki 137 is an alias I use for my music project, which is dedicated to creating in the genres of synthwave, retrowave, chillwave, and synthpop. Since April 2023, I have been producing songs under this pseudonym, allowing me to express my creativity and connect with a growing audience. My music has garnered attention and can be found on a variety of platforms, including popular synthwave and chillwave playlists on Spotify, as well as being featured on radio stations and YouTube channels such as Retro TopMusic, New Retrowave, and Synthwave boy.
Stellar Knox is an additional alias I use to explore a diverse range of electronic music styles. This project allows me to delve into new and experimental sounds, pushing the boundaries of my creativity. One notable opportunity I had was creating jingles and composing a song for the talented artist and illustrator, maruartjp, who specializes in creating adorable and kawaii-themed artwork. Collaborating with maruartjp was a delightful experience, as it allowed me to infuse my musical expressions with their charming visuals.
I'm currently working on a music project inspired by video games. These tracks are still in the draft stage and haven't been released to the public yet. However, if you're interested, you can have a listen to them here
