Best known as one half of the successful pop/R&B duo CHEMISTRY, Dohchin Yoshikuni also struck out as a solo artist in 2012. However, rather than continuing in the same style, he has used his solo project to pursue his passion for rock music. Dubbed “Tambient Rock” [“tanbi” (“aesthetics”) + “ambient”], his sound features everything from aggressive alternative rock to serene ballads. He has performed with the same support band for much of his solo career and the members, which include MONORAL bassist Ali and Pablo from Pay money To my Pain, have helped to compose many of his songs.
Dohchin has also been keeping busy in other fields. He has starred in films and stage plays, including everything from a Japanese production of the Broadway musical “RENT” to the tokusatsu film "Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending". He has also hosted a weekly InterFM radio show called "Now what can I see?" and serves as one of the hosts of the talk show "music monster".
