HYPNOTICASIA: How did you get started with music and how were you introduced to the music scene in Asia?
ICHIRO SUEZAWA: My music career started in LA after I graduated Berklee College of Music in 2007. I’ve been playing and performing music since I was in high school. I wasn’t heavily engaged in the production side of music at the time when I was in Japan so, when I started working in the studio in LA as a producer, I didn’t do any of those Asian projects at first. At the time, I was mainly working with Bruno Mars and a couple other American artists. That was totally a great opportunity for me to know the level which I have to be in and going forward as a world class producer and songwriter. Then I connected with so many different writers in LA and naturally, since I came from Japan and I understood the J-Pop and K-Pop style well, I got involved deeply in the Asian pop music scene.


HYPNOTICASIA: How would you describe your music to those who haven’t heard it before?
ICHIRO SUEZAWA: “Sound of Uniqueness.” I always try to put some kind of unique (almost “weird”) elements in the songs so that it stands out more from other songs and catching the listener’s attention.

So that means Bruno is already having new ideas for the third album.
