Def Tech is a Jawaiian Reggae vocal unit with SHEN, from Hawaii and
MICRO, from Japan.

The contrasting aspects of these two, such as 'Hawaii vs
Japan''English vs Japanese' and different music views characterize
their three-dimensional music.

They also possess unique talents with Shen being fluent in Japanese,
and Micro, being a natural surfer which makes their live performances
all the more special.

Their tie-up with a commercial and heavy rotation on-air FM radio
broadcasts throughout Japan helped their first album "Def Tech",
released in January-2005, to become a record long seller with over
1.5 million sales ranking number 1 on the national chart.

This is very rare for an Indies music label in Japan. Their second
album "Lokahi Lani", released on June 29th, broke the record for
initial Indies albums sales.

Both albums ranked top 5 in the national chart, a brilliant
achievement.

Micro
DOB: August 28th, 1980

Born in Tokyo, Japan, Micro was inspired into the music world after
listening to Bob Marley's song called "Kaya". Surfing from 3rd grade
through college and growing up with the ocean, one day he decides to
sing when the music in his head would not stop pounding.He grabs all
the listener's heart with his luring thick voice

Shen
DOB: May 9th 1981

Born in China, brought up in Hawaii, Shen had been coming to Japan
for many years. This eventually led to his determination to bring
Jawaiian music to Japan at age 21.He loves to read books and watch
movies but manages time to jot down thoughts in poems in a notebook
that he carries. To date, he has over 360 poems in his collection.
