About this user

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Neal Nagaoka. I am a guitarist/musician. I started playing guitar at the age of 12. My father is actually a very well known artist in Japan. His name is Shusei Nagaoka. And because of my dad, I had quite an unusual childhood. For example, I grew up with some very interesting classmates and friends, some with famous parents, and many even becoming famous stars themselves. Also when I was very young, I've been on national TV a few times even before I ever picked up the guitar. Some of my unusual daily routines used to included having several television camera crews following my dad around the house, meeting celebrities etc.... and this is all before I reached the age of 12. But because of my unusual childhood, this may be the main reason why I chose to become a musician and follow in my dads artistic footsteps. When I was younger, I was very fortunate to study under some of the best teachers in the world and I am truly grateful for that! As far as my journey through life, it hasn't always been a smooth ride due to my health issues but I am very thankful for all the great friends and family members that has helped support me. I also had the priviledge to study and perform with some of the most incredible musicians in the world and even teach some amazing students. I definitely cannot complain about that. For now, I am just enjoying the ride and hope it gets even better. :-)
