DescriptionHello there, This is Ken Araki from Tokyo, Japan. I am a Music Producer, Songwriter, founder of Key Area Co. Ltd. https://www.key-area.com/ I have been working in the music industry as a studio session bass player over 30 years, also have been teaching music over 20 years. I am originally from Los Angeles, grew up in Tokyo, then I have studied music in the United [removed] Area Records is the Label of Key Area Co. Ltd. based in Tokyo, Japan., however we aim to release songs to the world music market. After Covid-19 both of our daily life and music scene has been forced to change, dived into a kind of the â€œNew Eraâ€ where we donâ€™t have to care about â€œCD sellingâ€ or â€œdistributing regionâ€, never â€œbackyard stockâ€. We can release our songs quickly to all music lovers on the globe! Key Area Records will release songs mainly produced by Key Area Co. Ltd but not exclusively. We may have some labels in the future. We look forward to having more singers and songwriters from all over the world who have talent and same goal.

Dreams & AmbitionsMy personal dream is getting Grammy Awards, of course. I have been dreaming of this since I was 5 years old, right after I watched the award ceremony on TV. Years after, especially after experienced many years teaching music, songwriting and producing, my ambition has been changed, just like a kid who wanted to have a faster car like Maserati, now he'd like to drive BMW, now my dream is not only getting Grammy myself , but also let my students have Awards. I will help my company, students with my full intention. I believe that's the way musicians live for music. The reason why I founded my company "Key Area" is that we contribute to society through music, make people smile, give them courage and hopes, pass the baton to the next generation, connect the world in the songs we create, make all musicians proud of their music.

EquipmentWe use Logic Pro to produce, so Mac users. A lot of instruments both actual and virtual. I myself play the bass. Fender Jazz 1977, Musicman Stingray 1978, Yamaha BB2000 !978, Sadowsky, F-bass, etc... also play contrabass. And I recently updated my productions demo on the Soundcloud. Hope you'll get some idea of how to use me!
