About Hiroya Tsukamoto
A one-of-a-kind composer, guitarist, and singer-songwriter from Kyoto, Japan, Hiroya began playing the five-string banjo at 13. He took up the guitar shortly after.
In 2000, Hiroya received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and came to the United States. He formed his own group in Boston “INTEROCEANICO (inter-oceanic)” which consists of unique musicians from different continents including Latin Grammy Colombian singer Marta Gomez. The group released three acclaimed records (“The Other Side of the World”, “Confluencia,” and “Where the River Shines”). Hiroya has released five solo albums.
Hiroya has lead concerts internationally, including several appearances at Blue Note (NYC), United Nations, and Japanese National Television (NHK). He is also a two-time 2nd-place winner of the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship in 2018 and 2022.
