Bio

He is a music producer, beat maker, and saxophone player.

He played the piano as a child, started playing the clarinet and saxophone in junior high school, and has devoted himself to jazz.

After enrolling at Meiji University, he joined the university's big band jazz ensemble Big Sounds Society Orchestra. As a main soloist and concert master, he has won numerous awards in contests as a soloist, along with performance awards as a group. From when he was still enrolled, he started mainly doing recordings as a saxophone player, and also offering support at live performances for other musicians.

Starting in 2015, he worked for about 3 years as the band master and manipulator (synchronous music production) at the dance event WEFUNK organized by Victor Entertainment. This experience gave him the opportunity to develop an interest in DTM and electronic music, and starting in 2018, he began to do full scale compositions and beat making.


Currently, along with his activities as Naofumi Katsura playing the saxophone, he also produces and composes music as singer-songwriter Shoubun. He aims for a musical expression that harmonizes with Japanese pop music and music that is popular even around the world.
