Takahiro Izumikawa "single release party" with Descendent — live event

Takahiro Izumikawa (Taka) is a Japanese keyboardist and music producer currently residing in New York. Brooklyn. Passionate yet technical, diverse yet harmonic is the simplest way to depict Taka's inimitable style of music and personality. His work often incorporates aspects of jazz, gospel, soul, hip-hop, traditional Japanese melodies, and other subgenres, depending on his inspiration. Taka is most well-known for his ability to improvise and transpose. Some of the extraordinary musicians Taka has worked with include Anderson. Paak (Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars), Erykah Badu, and D'Angelo. Taka has also worked with other incredible Grammy Award-winning artists such as Maurice Brown, Keyon Hearld, Jermaine Holmes, Daru Jones, Mononeon, Timothy Bloom, and YEBBA. Taka hopes his works could inspire others, especially the youth, to be respectful, ambitious, and honest — to themselves and others. His mission is to help others and provide access to high-quality music regardless of whether they're musicians or listeners. Due to this ideology, Taka spends most of his time in the shadows assembling tracks, beats, and frequently even entire melodies for others; hence, although he isn't a megastar, Taka has worked with some of the most prominent names and labels in the music industry. Descendent is a champion of black culture, at home and abroad. Through songwriting and filmmaking, the New York-based artist seeks to illuminate and celebrate the cultural strength of the Pan-African diaspora, specifically of African American art. Starting from his hometown of Newport News, Virginia, he dives into the roots of African American storytelling: music and oral history. They become his vehicle to not only remember the history of his ancestors but also connect with the communities around him.
