Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Now or NeverPitbull x Bon Jovi

A collaboration track by Miami, Florida–born rapper Pitbull and New Jersey–born rock band Bon Jovi was released in November 2024.

Based on Bon Jovi’s signature song “It’s My Life,” the new piece features fresh lyrics and rap by Pitbull, blending elements of rock, Latin, and hip-hop.

Its powerful message about the importance of living true to oneself remains intact, with both artists’ personalities shining through—for example, by referencing Frank Sinatra’s way of life.

The two deepened their friendship after meeting at the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2017.

They also performed together in New York in September 2024, and a music video using footage from that appearance has been released.
