Highly acclaimed by top artists across a wide range of genres, she enjoys immense global popularity.

W Osaka’s Music & Entertainment Director, Yuuki Yoshiyama, continues to ride a wave of international acclaim. His latest release on Toolroom Records has been turning heads, and he recently performed at Tomorrowland in Belgium.
