Hailing from Shimane Prefecture, SKREW KID is a musician who co-founded the legendary electronic band ALL OF THE WORLD in Nagoya, taking on guitar and programming duties.

The band went on to release their second album, Finesse, in 2008, followed by their long-awaited third album, lull, in 2021.

In 2015, he relocated from Nagoya to Fukui Prefecture, where he continues to be active—composing music for commercials and contributing tracks to overseas labels. He is particularly drawn to works that feel "high-quality yet unfinished" or have a sense of something left undone. He believes that leaving space in music invites the listener’s imagination to fill in the gaps.
