Carl & Alan are twins who were born in Tokyo from a Japanese mother and an American father. They grew up in an international environment in Hong Kong from ages 3-15. They started to play instruments at age 9 and by age 14 they knew they wanted to make music their profession. They played in a band at school and their farewell live before leaving Hong Kong was a full house performance. They moved to the vibrant music city of Memphis, TN in USA at age 15. They arrived in Memphis determined to pursue music and soon after they joined the world renown Stax Music Academy and found jazz waiting for them. They learned to improvise sitting in at jazz clubs in Memphis. At age 17, Donald Brown discovered them during his university recruiting tour and they became his pupils. In 2014, they recorded their first album titled ‘The Sound of Music’ with Kirk Whalum as the guest artist and Donald Brown on piano/producing. They have been touring in Japan and Hong Kong, their home countries every summer. In the summer of 2016 they played their own concert with Yosuke Onuma, one of Japan's premier guitarists, for a packed house of 400 people in Akita, Japan. They are studying under Brown at the University of Tennessee to refine their skills and widen their musical perspectives to deliver their own sound of music. In 2017, they recorded with Aaron Goldberg, Greg Tardy and Bill Mobley. The producer was Brown. They have lived in 3 countries and traveled to many more.
