Yogetsu Akasaka

Yogetsu Akasaka, a Zen Buddhist Monk, combines spirituality and music in an innovative fusion. His career began as a beatboxer on the streets of international cities like London, Sydney, and NYC before he became a monk in 2015. After returning to Tokyo, Yogetsu integrated Buddhist chanting with live looping, beatboxing, handpan, and his multilayered voice, creating a unique blend of electronic music, chanting, and organic electronica. His music invites listeners on a journey into their deeper selves. During the pandemic, Yogetsu's healing sound gained viral popularity, reaching over 11 million views and amassing 200k+ followers. His music as medicine for mental health earned him global media attention, including Vice Magazine, and an Official Selected Artist spot at SXSW 2023. Yogetsu's music, wisdom, and lifestyle inspire and harmonize audiences worldwide with their mental health, well-being, and overall happiness.
