Miyazawa was born on February 21, 2000, in Tokyo, Japan and currently lives there with his parents. Miyazawa was named "The Youngest Professional Guitarist" by Guinness Book of World Records in August 2008.

Since his discovery, Miyazawa has performed with numerous music legends over the past year including G. E. Smith, Les Paul, Galactic, Deep Banana Blackout, and Ozzy Osbourne.

In May 2009, Miyazawa appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where he performed "Crazy Train" playing guitar and singing lead vocals. He named his musical idols as Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoads, and showed his guitar to be an official Rhoads edition polka-dot Flying V.[1] After the performance, Ozzy Osbourne came on stage to give words of encouragement and awarded him with a signed plaque of Osbourne and Rhoads performing at a concert. Miyazawa appeared on stage at Blizzcon 2009 with Osbourne to play "Crazy Train" as the first encore performance.[2] In 2010, Miyazawa came back on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and played "Paranoid."
