J-Summit New York is a monthly concert series that introduces audiences to exciting bands of all genres. In addition to this month’s acts, j-Summit has invited internationally recognized music producer Daisuke Hinata from L.A. to join us as our special guest. We will search for new artists with Mr. Hinata as we continue to present monthly concerts.

As an artist and composer for the band Interiors on the Windham Hill label, Hinata earned a Grammy nomination in 1987. He went on to produce three albums for Japanese superstar Tetsuya Komuro. Hinata has also produced the scores to numerous commercials for Honda, Toyota, Hitachi, Kirin, and General Foods as well as the soundtracks to the Japanese soap operas "The Long Vacation" and "Love Generation," which both garnered Gold and Platinum sales in Japan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.

Daisuke Hinata’s music career spans oceans and continents as well as cultures, genres, academia and music styles with numerous awards, including a Grammy Nomination along with millions of records sold as a Producer and Artist. www.daisukehinata.com    www.hyperdisc.com
