What kind of situations make you in deep contemplation?
For me, I always close my eyes and consider something thoroughly when I listen to Uyama Hiroto's albums.I can't describe the feeling clearly as I listened to Stratus(the first song of my music player in this post). As same as the song title, you'll float in the sky, even see the clouds and stars. Just like in a dreamland, makes me feel smooth and amazing. Through the song, I could keep being a seeker in my life and  make my own legend. So please let me introduce this incredible artist.

Uyama Hiroto (宇山寬人) is a Japanese hip-hop producer. He is the collaborator of the most famous Japanese DJ, Nujabes. His music style is  downtempo, ambient jazz and also influenced by hip-hop.

In 2008, Uyama Hiroto finally published his first individual album, A Son Of The Sun. This album includes piano, trumpet, guitar and other musical instruments. With these instruments, beautiful Jazz Hip-Hop and Downtempo music would constantly hover around your ear.

He uses Japanese  summer as a concept in the first song 81summer, this one present the wonderful summer feeling for us. He also creates a new song to dedicate his lovely son, who just a newborn baby last year. You can see how he expressed his fatherhood in the song Color Of the Jade. Enjoy it!
