Ace Hashimoto (fka ​brandUn DeShay) is a self-taught producer, singer, and songwriter persona born during time spent in Fukuoka & Tokyo, Japan. Although he doesn’t like to be within one specific genre, he has drawn inspiration from Pharrell Williams, Lupe Fiasco, and Frank Ocean as he tastefully blends Soul, R&B, Jazz, and Hip-Hop.

In 2016, Hashimoto departed the United States following an opportunity to work with renowned Japanese music label, Toys Factory, with their subset group Miya Terrace.

Since then he has released only a handful of singles, mostly as feature artist, but to respectable acclaim. One of these singles with Moe Shop, “Natural”, has garnered over 5.4 million plays on Spotify. He has also collaborated with the likes of Devin Morrison, Jarreau Vandal, Onra, Kero One and more. In addition to this, he has also released solo singles like “4EVERYTHING” that has amassed over 700,000+ streams via Spotify and a cover of Playboi Carti & Kid Cudi that is well on its way to 400,000 streams on Spotify.

He is currently working on his debut album to be released under French label, “Nothing But Net”, owned by Onra.

Hashimoto has continued to attract a following of music-lovers and put out sonically unique music, sprinkled with Japanese influence and childhood nostalgia.
