Keitaro Ujiie (born February 22, 1997), also known as Snail's House or Ujico*,[1] is a Japanese electronic musician. He currently resides in Komae, Tokyo, Japan.[2]
History
In 2011, after listening to compositions by Hiromi Uehara, her skill inspired Ujiie to start playing the piano.[3] He started publishing music on SoundCloud in 2012 under the name Ujico* (which he stated was a childhood nickname given to him by a friend).[3] 2013 saw the creation of Ujiie's own record label, Youth Composer Association, a Tokyo-based label specifically geared towards young musicians.[2]
From that point, his music career began to grow and he created a separate Snail's House outfit for his "kawaii" music, which officially began on August 30, 2014 with the release of "Nyan Nyan Angel!".
His first two EPs as Snail's House, Kirara and Kawaii Collective, were released in mid-2015, containing high-pitched vocal chops, vibrant synthesizer sounds, and happy-sounding melodies.[4] Throughout recent years, he has become recognized for pioneering such sound design characteristics within the "kawaii" future bass subset.[5][6]
