PERFORMING live is a source of inspiration for many artistes but for one who has been doing it his entire career, it represents the zenith of the musical life.
A native of Ono, Onojo, Fukuoka in Japan, Shigeaki Miyazaki, professionally known as Aska, began his symphony in the late 80s as an artiste.
The early 90s saw the then-young artiste rise to fame as his hit Hajimari Wa Itsumo Ame, a single from his second solo album, hit the radio waves and won hearts.
Before finding success as a soloist, Aska was part of a musical duo, formed in the late 70s, called Chage and Aska. Between irregular releases and a budding solo career, the duo’s popularity peaked in the 1990s.
After two hiatus and a short stint in 2013, the duo finally called it quits in 2019 as Aska embarked to embrace his journey as a soloist fully. With an impressive resume as a musician, Aska is back on the road for his tour and he is set to play in KL for his adoring fans this Sunday.
Before lifting the curtains, Aska sat down with theSun for a pre-concert chat about music, performing and his upcoming concert.
