Today, DJ KURO whose real name is Hidekyuki Kuromiya proclaims that his latest beat album, “One More Beat”, is a lo-fi musical masterpiece. Hidekyuki Kuromiya is a popular and rising musician who specializes in lo-fi jazz music, based on hip-hop beats and jazz samples.

“Lo-fi” means “low-fidelity,” a term for music where you can hear imperfections that would typically be considered errors in the recording process. “Lo-fi” can apply to several genres, as the term speaks specifically to how music is recorded rather than the style of the music.

Hidekyuki Kuromiya has many aliases in the music industry. DJ KURO, DJ Kromier, KUROMIYA, and Hb are names that he has been called throughout his journey. The lo-fi jazz music producer started his musical career around 1995 in Japan.

DJ KURO released an EP on CD in 2009 that received praises from DJ Claude Young, a notable industry DJ from Detroit. Since then, Hidekyuki Kuromiya has released a considerate amount of albums and songs for both domestic and international artists. The DJ has received industry approval from A&R’s at SKIO MUSIC, a Canadian music platform.

Born in Hokkaido, Japan, the eighties baby became interested in music during his time in elementary school as a Japanese drummer. But despite his passion for music, he didn’t do well during his grade school years and actually scored low during testing periods. Inspired by Aerosmith, the lo-fi musician gained a new love for music and started playing guitar.

During the eighties, Hip Hop was very popular and reached the ears of listeners worldwide. When DJ KURO was in high school, he had a chance to experience gang related music from the group “Mobb Deep”.

Hidekyuki Kuromiya further competed in the Stones Throw Beat Battles (STTB), which at the time was hosted on the Stones Throw website message board. He won second place during his time participating in the battles. However, that content is no longer on that site and is now hosted on an independent platform.

In order to continue a successful career, Hidekyuki Kuromiya is dedicated to his musical journey of becoming the highest and most successful musician in lo-fi hip hop and jazz.
