Album Notes

Ken Suzuki is a professional composer, sound designer, keyboardist and guitarist based in Boston, MA. An extremely versatile musician, Suzuki's compositions range from blues rock to electronica to smooth jazz. He has an innate ability to infuse life and soul with his music to various mediums including film, TV programs, and TV commercials.

Inspired by watching his father, an abstract painter, work while growing up in Japan, Suzuki was fascinated with the relationship between structure and freedom in art. Suzuki eventually began studying guitar and classical piano, until he decided he wanted to expand his horizons: he moved to the US, where he performed and composed for numerous groups in Los Angeles, while also studying under guitarist Joe Jewell.

Looking to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between visual art and music, Suzuki soon moved to Boston where he studied Film Scoring and Performance at the Berklee College of Music. As he continued to study guitar under esteemed musicians such as Richie Hart, Suzuki was exposed to a vibrant community of international musicians, from which he drew much inspiration for his compositions. As a result, his music today is a dynamic mix of ethnic instruments, electronic beats, and innovative sounds, layered on harmonies ranging from simple pop to complex jazz.
