After a move to Berkeley for schooling in '93 he became immersed in the local hiphop scene that launched dozens of acts worldwide. In '96 Shing02's music made its way back to Japan, then partnered with Mr. Higo of Mary Joy Recordings, garnering tremendous support in his homeland. He has collaborated with music stars such as Ghostface Killah, M.I.A., TOKiMONSTA, Nujabes, Ryuichi Sakamoto to name a few, and have achieved recognition beyond the scene for producing theme song of hip-hop influenced film 'Samurai Champloo'.
