Profile

USAO is a Japanese music producer who first appeared in the doujin scene in 2006. He started producing songs under the frenchcore genre, to then becoming one of the main hardstyle acts from Japan. In the last few years, USAO has expanded his music production to other genres, specializing in dubstep/drumstep, hardtek, trap, twerk, EDM, several variants of house, and occasionally stepping out for genres he is not known for such as psytrance and glitch hop.

In releases, USAO sometimes uses two aliases: Shandy Kubota (for dubstep tracks, and as a vocalist) and DJ Nanashi (for upbeat and handz up tracks). With DJ WILDPARTY, he forms the Shot Bass Idiots group where he releases megamixed compilations and trap and jungle terror tracks as well.

USAO is a member of the HARDCORE TANO*C circle and owns the UOM RECORDS label. He makes appearances in labels such as SKETCH UP! Recordings and Massive CircleZ.
