Internationally acclaimed guitarist and songwriter Hiroya Tsukamoto performs eclectic, immersive, and mesmerizing music. He takes audiences on an innovative, impressionistic journey filled with earthy, organic soundscapes that impart a mood of peace and tranquility.

Tsukamoto is a unique composer, guitarist, and singer-songwriter originally from Kyoto, Japan. He has performed with Esperanza Spalding, Marta Gomez, Kendrick Scott (The Crusaders), Pete Kennedy (The Kennedys), and Dave Maxwell (Muddy Waters Band). His masterful compositions have earned him great critical praise and recognition. He was a finalist in the USA Songwriting Competition in 2004, 2005, and 2006.

Tsukamoto began playing the five-string banjo when he was just thirteen years old, and he took up the guitar shortly thereafter. In 1994, he entered Osaka University. While at college in Japan, Tsukamoto was introduced to Nueva Cancion, a musical and social movement in South America headed by musical legends such as Victor Jara and Violeta Parra.

In 2000, Tsukamoto received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and came to the United States. In 2004, he released his debut album, “The Other Side of the World,” with his band Interoceanico. That album was followed by “Confluencia” in 2006 and “Where the River Shines” in 2008. Tsukamoto’s most recent album, “Heartland,” was released in 2012. He tours and performs internationally.
