After many years of behind the scenes experience as a musician, he realizes that "to send a certain message through music it can only be done on your own” and so he decides to step into the limelight himself as a front-man singer. Since his debut in 2019, his songs have been selected on numerous official playlists such as "Early Noise Japan", "Soul Music Japan" and more on Spotify and other major streaming services. He has been actively performing shows in different areas such as Tokyo and Osaka. He has performed as the opening act for popular Japanese POP/R&B singers such as AI, SIRUP, Original Love and more. He currently hosts his own radio show “KEI_HAYASHI’s All That Jam”, aired every thursday night on FM NORTH WAVE.
