Kitaro began his musical career within symphonic rock, as a member of The Far East Family Band. By the mid seventies, he began to experiment with synthesizers. This led him to start his solo career. Soon after, his soundtrack for the television series Silk Road definitely consecrated him as an electronic composer. Since then, his success has not ceased. He has been awarded numerous prizes, like for example the Golden Globe for his movie soundtrack for the film Heaven and Earth directed by Oliver Stone, or nominations to the Grammy.
