SayakaStar has been a part of the Tokyo music club scene since 1994. She started out as a Techno-Pop and New Wave DJ working at the lively and exciting clubs and parties happening in Japan, including those that were still underground at that time. She grew and developed her musical skills getting her inspiration and muse from the excitement of Tokyo’s clubs and the creativity brewing underneath in the smaller avant-garde venues. SayakaStar joined a band called “Texas 2000” in 1999. The band plays mad electronica music using only T.I. machines (Texas Instruments) such as “Speak and Spell” and so on.without a sequencer and no TB-303. In 2004 while she was traveling around the world performing and DJ’ing her grandfather, who was an astronomer, died. In the Australian bush she looked up into the brilliant, starry night sky and felt moved and inspired by the loss of her grandfather who loved the stars. She sensed that he wanted to say to her, “Keep moving with music! Follow the Light!” So that day she named herself “SayakaStar”. Since then she has organized and performed at both indoor and outdoor events with success all over Japan, Australia, and Germany.
