Artist Profile
H.R-BUGBorn in Kotohira, Kagawa, Japan.
He began rapping in junior high school. In 2012, at the age of 17, his life changed forever when he was struck by a Mercedes driven by a drunk driver. He suffered life-threatening injuries, including the removal of his spleen and a severe neck injury, and survived against overwhelming odds. The accident left him with a spinal cord injury and permanent disabilities.
Doctors told him that if he could one day spend just a few hours a day in a wheelchair, it would be considered a good outcome. Refusing to let that prediction define his future, he continued to push forward through years of relentless determination.
Eventually, he put down his cane but never his microphone.
With a mission to create music that people can truly enjoy, he works not only as a rapper, but also as a beat maker, music producer, mixing engineer, and music video editor.
Genre: Hip Hop/Rap
