KENTZ

Having spent his childhood in the United States and his high school years in Germany, he was exposed to diverse cultures from an early age.
While attending university, he began his career as a rapper and released two albums. This experience led him to songwriting, eventually transitioning into full-scale work in lyric writing and music composition.

After gaining experience at a record label and a music publishing company, he fully dedicated himself to songwriting.
His first provided track ranked No.2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, and many of his later works have gone on to earn Gold and Platinum Disc certifications.
In 2022, he participated in the production of NiziU’s “CLAP CLAP,” which received the Excellence Award at the 64th Japan Record Awards.

Drawing on his extensive international experience, he continues to collaborate with creators around the world to produce music that transcends borders and genres — instinctively, not by formula.

In 2025, he launched a new music production team, NO THEORY, based on the concept of creating music that reflects today’s diverse and evolving passion cultures.

アメリカで幼少期を、ドイツで高校時代を過ごす。多様な文化に触れながら育ち、大学在学中にラッパーとしてキャリアをスタート。2枚のアルバムをリリースしたのち、次第にソングライティングに情熱を傾け、作詞・作曲の道へと進む。
レコード会社および音楽出版社での勤務経験を経て、作家として本格的に活動を開始。初提供曲がオリコン週間ランキング2位を記録し、その後も手がけた楽曲が多数のゴールド／プラチナディスクを獲得。
2022年には、NiziU「CLAP CLAP」の制作に参加し、第64回日本レコード大賞・優秀作品賞を受賞。
長年にわたる海外生活の経験を活かし、国内外のアーティストやクリエイターとボーダーレスにコラボレーションを続けている。
2025年には、音楽制作チーム「NO THEORY」を始動。
