DJ KENTA　
横濱出身。80年代にレコード店を經營していた兩親の影響もあり幼少の頃から
SADEやHALL&OATESを聽いて育ち、黄金期と呼ばれる90年代初頭のHIP HOPに衝撃を受け本格的にDJ活動を開始。多彩なジャンルの樂曲を一本の線で紡ぐかのような心地よいグルーブ感溢れるプレイは確實に『踊れる』DJとしてオーディエンスはもとより國内、海外の多くの共演者からも支持を受けるようになる。
2008年3月にはCRAZY KEN BAND"ZERO TOUR"でのフロントアクトに拔擢、活躍の場を廣げ、近年ではNYやアジア各國でのDJ、また大手ブランドのPartyや
HOTELなどのハイエンドな現場から、野外フェスでのDJプレイなどクラブの枠に捉われず多岐に活躍中。また2017年1月より開局されたAbema TV HIPHOPチャンネルでは毎週月曜日生放送のAbema Mixを5年間擔當、同チャンネル内の人氣番組”mynameis”にも拔擢され今後の活動への更なる期待を集めている。
そして、20年以上途絶えることなく定期的にリリースされている數多くのMix作品はジャンルを越えた音樂性の追求と現場さながらのプレイが凝縮された至高作品群
であり、日本中のグッドミュージックラバー達からの絶大な支持を確固たるものとし數多のレーベルからOfficial Mixもリリースしている。
さらに2023年からYouTubeチャンネルを開設し映像美とDJ Mixによるシリーズ
”Eternal Views”がスタート。

Born in Yokohama / JAPAN. Influenced by his parents, who ran a record store in the 1980s, he grew up listening to artists like SADE and HALL & OATES.
He was deeply impacted by the golden age of hip-hop in the early 1990s and began his DJ career in earnest. His smooth, groove-filled sets, which seamlessly blend diverse genres, have earned him a reputation as a DJ who can get the crowd moving, gaining support not only from audiences but also from many collaborators both domestically and internationally.
In March 2008, he was selected as the opening act for the CRAZY KEN BAND “ZERO TOUR,” expanding his scope of activity. In recent years, he has been active in a wide range of venues, including DJ sets in New York and various Asian countries, as well as high-end events for major brands, hotels, and outdoor festivals, transcending the boundaries of traditional club settings.
Additionally, since January 2017, he has been hosting the weekly Monday live broadcast “Abema Mix” on the Abema TV for five years, and has also been selected for the popular program “mynameis” within the same channel, generating further anticipation for his future activities.
Furthermore, his numerous mix works, released regularly without interruption for over 20 years, are a collection of supreme works that pursue music across genres and condense the essence of live performances.
These works have solidified his overwhelming support from music lovers across Japan, and he has also released official mixes for numerous labels.
Additionally, in 2023, he launched a YouTube channel featuring a series combining visual beauty and DJ mixes titled
“Eternal Views.”
