Miyavi
Takamasa Ishihara (石原 貴雅, Ishihara Takamasa, born September 14, 1981), better known by his stage name Miyavi, is a Japanese singer-songwriter, guitarist, record producer, and actor. He has been active since 1999, first as guitarist for the now defunct visual kei rock band Dué le Quartz and then as a solo artist starting in 2002. In 2007, he became a member of the rock supergroup S.K.I.N., and in 2009 founded his own company, J-Glam. He toured worldwide several times, with over two hundred shows. After becoming a father Miyavi toned down his on-stage attire. He is known for his finger-slapping style of playing a guitar.
Early life
Miyavi was born in the Nishikujō district in Konohana-ku ward, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, to a Zainichi Korean father and a Japanese mother. After the first grade, he moved to Kawanishi. Miyavi says that as a child he was a good student and enjoyed playing football. In the second year of junior high school, a sports injury prevented him from pursuing a professional career in sports. Instead, at the age of 15, he learned to play the guitar. He bought a guitar and began covering songs by Ray Charles.
