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.

A standout EDM unit, The Chainsmokers delivered this late-2018 hit.

Their sound, richly incorporating live instruments, has shed much of its dance-music feel and even evokes a rock-like vibe.

The catchy male-and-female vocal melody line is definitely the biggest draw!
