Not only does SKY-HI have incredible skills as a rapper, he also uses his outstanding vocal, dance and trackmaking skills to self-produce music that is bursting with entertainment value. He is also the CEO of his own management agency and label BMSG, as well as serving as a producer for other artists – a true all-rounder who is shaping new possibilities for the future of the Japanese music scene.

He made his major-label debut in 2005 as a member of AAA, and around the same time, he began to take the mic at Tokyo clubs under the name SKY-HI, gaining props in the hip-hop scene.

He made his major debut as a solo artist in 2013 and has released six albums, whose high quality has earned high praise in the hip-hop scene and beyond genre boundaries.

In 2020, SKY-HI launched the management agency and label BMSG and took on the role of CEO. In the same year, he hosted the boyband audition THE FIRST, and the following year he oversaw the newly formed boyband BE:FIRST as producer.

2023 saw the debut of SKY-HI’s second group as producer, MAZZEL.
