Deza is an artist-producer hailing from Canada. The 26 year old artist currently works and lives in Tokyo. While his sound can be sporadic, there is an inclination to the jazzier productions with punchy vocals and deep layered bars. He considers his style to be laidback and comfy and is self described as ‘too sweet’ due to his love of sweet things and especially strawberry milk. 
His last release, Nomad, was a project of grief, loneliness, and overwhelming feels that he had to let go of in order to move forward with his life and music. Since then he has been writing music for himself and other artists in the Japanese music sphere. 
 The most recent release, ‘Bonhomie Trip’ is a group tape featuring his close friends that he has worked with almost every week for 2 years. Fine-tuning his production and enjoying the collaborative process, the chopup sessions turned into a group called the Keio Mob. 
 The tape is a summer trip that he and his friends take musically. As expected the tunes are catchy, wavy, and easy to listen to. 
 Deza’s production inspiration comes from the likes of Kanye West, Metro Boomin, J Dilla, Nujabes, Madlib, and The Kount. Rapping inspiration is from the likes of Capital Steez, Saba, De La Soul, Nas, and Joey Bada$$. These artists were monumental in shaping deza into the artist he is becoming.
 Deza is hoping to continue to collaborate with many artists to showcase his versatility but also explore his sound while also having it represent his life.
