        "bio" : "Jesus in Japan is the creation of Brooklyn based soundscape artist Kevin Brooks. An experienced song writer and performer, Kevin started his musical career in the early 90's with the Pittsburgh band Big Bean Theory, where he began experimenting with effects and unorthodox use of his guitar to create new sounds during live performances.\n\nWhen the band split in 1998, Kevin moved to New York to explore some fresh musical ideas. Intrigued by the challenge of communicating complex emotional states through seemingly simple musical compositions, Kevin honed his craft for the next 7 years through collaborations with theater groups, performance artists, and film makers in and around New York City. During this time, he also returned to the stage with the Brooklyn post rock ensemble Rahu-Ketu and started work on a solo project that would become Jesus in Japan.\n\nIn the midst of busy collaborations and the high energy environment of New York, Jesus in Japan was born out of a need to express something more personal, more reflective. Contemplative, and highly nuanced, the music of Jesus in Japan is refuge, a quiet place in a world spinning out of control, and an invitation to look inside.",
