KEIMA
KEIMA is the project of yours truly, Keima Ohi. My music is alternative rock with an electronic edge. I like technology, but the songwriting always comes first.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In the making.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do like playing live, but at the moment I don't have a band, so when I do play live, it's mostly acoustic. I'd love to present my work in a live setting though, with a full band in all of its theatricality.
