Ever since his debut as a solo rock guitarist in 1983, Japanese guitarist Kenji Suzuki's range of activity includes studio work with such renowned artists as Bono(U2), Annie Lennox, Seal, Bomb The Bass, Bill Laswell and Simply Red.
In 1984, he opened up for Deep Purple and Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble on their Japan Tour. Later in 1987, he played with Jack Bruce (Cream) and Anton Fier (ex. The Golden Palominos) in the "Inazuma Super Session" at Inkstick Shibaura Factory which instigated him to move the center of musical activity to London in 1988.
Since he was eager to play jam sessions anywhere, the British musicians called him Kenji "Jammer".His “Hula-Hula Dance” CD series, released from Uutwo Records in Japan since 2002, let you enjoy both upper and slow Hawaiian dance music at home or on the dance floor. With his prominent guitar playing technique, Kenji Jammer mixes electro, jazz, and dub to come up with an easy-going, organic sound.
This series of work has been highly praised by various artists, creators and producers from around the world.
At present, he is the exclusive guitarist for Simply Red, widening his range of activity all over the world.
