Nao Katafuchi is an electronic musician known for creating a unique world of dark romantic wave. Born in the suburbs of Tokyo in the 1980s, he moved to the Lower East Side of New York City in 1991. After years of experimentation, he found a community of like-minded musicians at the legendary Wierd Records parties, where he debuted as Nao Katafuchi. In late 2015, he relocated to Germany, quickly establishing himself in the dark wave scene of the industrial Ruhr region. His second album, "Stalhgrau," reflects the influence of his new environment, featuring the raw and gritty sounds of vintage analog synthesizers, along with a darker, deeper voice and whisper that adds to the abrasiveness of his music.
