Yawara Music + Musician in Louth

Japanese guitarist based in Dundalk. I first came to Ireland in 2016 after being invited to join a post-rock band, where I recorded for a tour project.

Currently I mainly work on my own music or occasionally take commissions for music production, including work for films and other media., but I also occasionally do busking, playing post-rock and rock.

The style I’m most interested in is jazz fusion. My influences include Pat Metheny, Allan Holdsworth, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and John Scofield — modern contemporary jazz guitarists.

I’m looking to start or join a band in a jazz fusion direction, ideally with an ambient or atmospheric backing sound.

Currently I’m producing chill guitar background music with a slight jazz flavor. It’s more aimed at a general audience, but honestly I would like to make more adventurous and challenging music.

I’m studying chord tones and scales, and I’m particularly interested in jazzy sounds using diminished, half-diminished, and altered ideas. At the same time, I also enjoy more relaxed styles such as bossa nova.

I feel there is still a lot for me to explore musically, but if this sounds interesting to you, please feel free to get in touch.

I’m still learning about the music scene in Ireland, but I would love to do live shows or even tours. In Japan, I performed several times on large stages such as Tokyo Big Sight and also had a weekly radio appearance.
