Artist Profile

LIBRO

He started his career at the dawn of the Japanese hip-hop scene, and made his debut in 1997 as a rapper and track-maker, and released a mini-album "Tetsudo" in 1998, which attracted a great deal of attention because it presented an original style that blew a completely new wind in the hip-hop scene, where various artists were engaged in friendly competition to establish their own style. After the release of "Samadai" in 2003, he has been a trackmaker with an outstanding sense of style, taking in the flavors of all genres but sublimating them into his own genre without being biased toward any one. In 2006, he released a full album and DVD under the name FUURI, a unit consisting of LIBRO, singer KEYCO, and filmmaker Sou Otsuki. In 2009, he launched his own label, AMPED MUSIC, and released his first instrumental album "night canoe" under the name LIBRO. Since then, he has released "COMPLETED TUNING" (2014), "COMPLETED TUNING -INSTRUMENTALS-" (2014), "Takuku Hito" (2015), "Oto Awase" (2015) and "Kaze Hikaru" (2016) under the name LIBRO x Momoe Shimano, "Shukusai no Chords" ( (2017), and "SOUND SPIRIT" (2018), and has consistently released his latest work, "Naorai" (2021).
