Ayumu Tateishi is a singer-songwriter based in Osaka, Japan.

Armed with his Gibson J-45 Maple Burst and a voice that cuts sharp yet carries warmth, he sings in his own words — not borrowed phrases — as if pushing himself forward with every line.

His musical life began in a live house in Takatsuki, Osaka, during his high school years. After three formative years in a band, he stepped into the world of solo acoustic performance.

He has organized and performed successful two-man shows with artists such as Pistol Takehara, The Mass Missile, and Hiromi Yunokawa, and once completed the bold challenge of selling 1,000 CDs in 100 days.

At the heart of his music are self-questioning and defiance.
Through distinctive melodies and songs that carry his way of life, Tateishi continues to sing with raw honesty and unwavering resolve.
