About yamasaki

Am writer, producer and solo artist Tom Edwards best known as YAMASAKI.

as Yamasaki I have continued to build momentum, working with many great artists along the way (such as Emeson, Echo Armande & soon the mighty Hyperik and Austin O'Brien) defining my sound and moving onwards and upwards

2006 saw the release of my debut EP Deep Six (available from itunes and all good digital retailers) And 2007 has seen the release of my first CD Boston Neck to rave reviews........

"an awesome beat creating sound guru who is forever innovative in his approach to music", Yamasaki has enjoyed album releases with the independent labels Criminal Recordz and Just Joe as well as acheiving underground acclaim and radio play in 3 continents (including having his tracks feature on Scott Mills show on BBC Radio 1 and The Jazz Suite & Soul Travels Radio in the USA). The Yamasaki sound is "steeped in the greats like Hancock, Coltrane and Gil Scott-Heron, they are also intrinsically linked to the lure of modern Jazz and Funk. It takes the sterling early nineties work of the Acid Jazz label and builds upon it yet again" (Robert Mcnamara, Redtrackmusic). Yamasaki blends the sounds of funk, soul, big-beat, and jazz, into tracks that seriously make you want to get up and groove along with the beat. Any of the Yamasaki tracks could be the soundtrack to a summer vacation.
