Kensuke Sudo's encounter with Paul McCartney's 'Fine Line' on YouTube at the age of 4 changed everything. Believing that playing all instruments was simply the norm, he got his hands on an MTR at age 9 and spent his teenage years devoted to home recording. At 20, he released his first album 'NowhereLAND,' made up of 8 songs written during his teens plus 2 new tracks. Of course, all recorded and mixed in his home-recording style. The lead track, 'All Of You,' was mastered by Sean Magee of Abbey Road Studios-who also worked on the 2009 remastered editions of The Beatles catalogue. Magee's comment, 'Good song and nice sound, this man should have a bright future. ' left a lasting impression. The album was praised by music enthusiasts as 'world-class pop. ' Now, only nine months later, comes his second album 'UnderGROUND. ' This new work digs deeper into his musical roots and the emotions of his twenties, placing renewed focus on the act of singing. It blends playful musical references with lyrics and melodies born from everyday experience. Through it's sense of youthful depth, the album reveals a quiet determination to carry the weight of 20th-century pop music into the future.
