Official Medium Bio (for press releases and feature articles)

Kackey@dabigtree is a Japanese singer, composer, djembe player, and creator of Earth Resonance Music, based in Osaka, Japan. With over thirty years of vocal performance experience, his work sits at the intersection of improvisational music, nature, and ritual — combining the human voice with West African djembe and the real-time, plant-generated music of the Music of the Plants system (including the Bamboo device).

He is an Official Artist of Music of the Plants, an Italy-based organization that translates the bioelectrical signals of plants into melodic tones, and a co-founder of the plant music duo Seeds of Earth. In 2024, he received the Audience Award at the Moscow International A Cappella Festival — a recognition chosen entirely by the listening public. That same year, he performed with Seeds of Earth at Bangalore International Centre in India. In 2025, he was selected as a featured artist at the Saudi Arabia Pavilion during Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan — one of the world’s largest international expositions — where he performed for global audiences over a multi-week residency.

His Earth Resonance Music performances have been presented in Russia, India, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, and across Japan, including dedicatory ceremonies at Sumiyoshi Taisha Grand Shrine and collaborations with Living National Treasure kyogen performer Shonosuke Okura. He continues to perform through his Earth Resonance Concert series, Sonic Forest immersive sound bath events, and the Tribe Awakening participatory performance project.
