He discovered hip hop at an HRKT cypher held in his hometown of Hirakata, and became immersed in rap, focusing on freestyle. He quickly rose to prominence in the scene through his performances in events such as the "BAZOOKA!!! High School RAP Championship" and "Triennial MC Battle." In 2019, he released his first album, "Kifu," featuring guest appearances by KennyDoes, Kubota Kai, and Sorane. His track "Super Healthy Life" became a smash hit, racking up over 500,000 views on YouTube. In 2020, he released the EP "Tsuki wa." In 2021, he released his second album, "Yokou," featuring guest appearances by Rinne, Lo-keyBoi, and 9for. In 2022, he formed the hip hop crew 109clan, which gathers in a studio apartment complex equipped with home recording equipment in each room. That same year, he released "MAKIN'0," a collaboration with rapper Roba, also a member of 109clan, and beatmaker zyagyo. He also attracted attention in the hip-hop scene, representing Osaka in the MC battle at the UMB2022 GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP.
In 2023, he held his first solo live show, "TERU ONEMAN LIVE '23," in Tokyo and Osaka, with tickets for both shows selling out. His third album, "ORIGIN," which was sold exclusively at the venue, also sold out immediately.
In 2025, he launched his own label, "BTD," and released his fourth album, "BED TOWN DREAMS." He also embarked on a release tour at five locations across the country.
A rare rapper who raps emotionally and honestly, he is one to keep an eye on in the future.
