At the age of 16, he left Tokyo to spend time in Cannes, France where he gained a strong interest in electronic music. Soon after, he began playing electronic music himself. After he returned to Tokyo, he played in a club for the first time and couldn't get enough.
He came to live in Rotterdam, Netherlands from 2011 where he has hosted several events (Wasted R’dam Youth, HERE&NOW). He's also hosted an underground party series in Paris (CHANGe).
Chris has not yet developed a style of music that quite fits him. From dub-techno to nu-disco, he eliminates the border between many different genres, although the style that sets his baseline would be the word "groovy".
From Summer 2011, Chris Akira is based in Tokyo and hosts an event :"WEHERENOW".
