Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

MONTERO is one of his hit tracks and it blew up on TikTok.

The chorus is simple yet incredibly striking—once you hear it, it sticks in your head instantly.

Ski Mask the Slump God is a rapper from the United States.

Their track “Faucet Failure” is a hip-hop tune that’s often used for makeup videos on TikTok.

Since it’s relatively slow-tempo, it’s easy to do simple arrangements like moving makeup tools to the beat, which might be one of the reasons for its popularity.

The heavy bass drops are irresistible, so it’s also a great song to listen to when you want to boost your energy in everyday life!
