Partner of Ajia Sound ,DJ MARU began his involvement with Japanese rock in the late 90s, when Visual Kei rock was not yet familiar to the general public in Italy, and Japanese music was only known by a very limited group of Japanese language and culture students.
In 2001 he began his carrier as DJ in Local Clubs and Cultural Associations, hosting events about 70s-80s music and introducing in his playlists a number of songs and videos by Japanese artists.
Starting in 2005 the Visual Kei rock began to take-off also in Italy, and DJ MARU started to looking for a nightclub, with some specific requirements, accepting the challenge and realizing a visual style j-rock event.
While this new musical trend is well appreciated by the public, it's still very difficult to find a venue for one or more events as freelancer.
