After contemplating a career as a politician or ambassador, TIGARAH felt she could best speak her mind if she made music her life. So, shortly after majoring in political science at Tokyo’s renowned Keio University, she started writing songs on her own in her tiny room in Tokyo, inspired by the Baile Funk music from Brazil.

In several trips to Sao Paulo and Rio, TIGARAH immersed herself in Brazilian culture and recorded music together with local musicians. It was in Rio where TIGARAH started collaborating with producer/beatmaker MR.D and they since formed a duo who write and produce everything together. Since 2003, they’re recording tracks on a regular basis in Los Angeles.
