Deco*27 (stylized in all caps and pronounced "Dekoniina") is a Japanese musician, Vocaloid producer, and songwriter. He is considered to be one of the most influential Vocaloid producers of the early 2010s, along with Wowaka and Kenshi Yonezu.
Early life
Deco*27 was raised in Fukuoka, Japan. At age 13, he taught himself how to play the guitar, a choice that was inspired by his father, who would sing and play guitar for him as a child. In high school, he joined a band. When he was a college student, he discovered the video sharing platform Nico Nico Douga and was impressed by Vocaloid music when he saw a music video of a Livetune song. He then began to study DTM to make Vocaloid songs.
