Biography

MONJOE started his solo career with "Stunning Misspapes", the collaboration with GARDEN CITY MOVEMENT in 2020. The trackmaker is a singer of DATS and this band quickly grabbed attention in the indie scene in Japan, and Yukihiro Takahashi, a member of the legendary techno-pop group Yellow Magic Orchestra, raved about their debut single ("I personally love this sound… Very promising"). MONJOE's 2021 collaboration with GLIM SPANKY "I’m In The Groovie" and 2022 collaboration with the rapper Ryohu and MELRAW (WONK, Millennium Parade) "Bad Mind" were mixed by Masahito Komori (Hikaru Utada, Kensi Yonezu) 
 His track “Lambo" features the KING GNU bassist, Kazuki Arai. This electro-dance tune is reminiscent of his all-time favorites Flume and Bonobo. PERIMETRON’s Margt continues to be in charge of the artwork. “Lambo" is out on April. 
 MONJOE’s first solo album “We Others” comes out this July. Along with the above-mentioned tracks, this album includes “Familia” featuring Ame No Parade singer Kohei Fukunaga, with Kensuke Takahashi (LUCKY TAPES), Keito Taguchi (LUCKY TAPES) and MELRAW as the guest musicians. “HAZAMA,” which features FiJA as the singer, is an indie R&B number reminiscent of Remi Wolf and Still Woozy. It is just a great track that reveals a wide range of MONJOE’s musicality.
