starRo is the moniker of Grammy nominated[1] R&B producer Shinya Mizoguchi.

In 2016 he became the first Grammy nominated producer from Japan[2] rising him to fame in his country of origin. Uproxx later wrote, "starRo may well be one of the first, true SoundCloud producers to be nominated for a Grammy."[3] The LA-based, Japanese-born producer also became the first to host a Beats1 Radio show focused on Tokyo culture.[4] Since then, he produced for a number of Japanese and Korean R&B/Hip Hop stars including the Korean group Common Cold (Mad Clown and Justhis) called "WASH!WASH!"[5] which went to number 3 in Korea and received critical acclaim in Korea.[citation needed]
