ME!ME!ME!



Joe Inoue (井上ジョー, born August 30, 1985) was born in Los Angeles, California to Japanese parents who moved to the states to follow their career. He grew up in an environment filled with music, and started listening to music seriously in his middle school years. He listened to many types of music, no matter what the genre. In fact, he still does. That is where he got his versatility in creating music. Despite being born in Los Angeles, Inoue never failed to learn how to speak fluent Japanese. He achieved this mainly by reading crapload of comic books and watching Japanese tv shows, he says. Gradually, Inoue started recording his own materials on a multi-track recorder, playing every instrument, including vocals, and yeah, I mean, everything. In 2005, he decided to send few of his demos to Japan, and signed a record deal with Kioon Records later on. He released his first single in 2008. Currently, he is planning to drop his first record this fall 2008 in Japan. Official website: www.inouejoe.com Read more on Last.fm.
