Musician

A native of Kobe, Japan, Naoya Ogura（小倉直也） started playing Jazz in the school Jazz band at Hyogo Prefectural International High School, “Hoppin’ Note.” Naoya’s relationship with music began in early childhood, when he first started composing melodies on the piano and capturing them on a tape recorder. He later developed his passion for big band jazz as a trumpet player, deeply immersing himself in the timeless traditions of Count Basie and Glenn Miller. After studying at Doshisha University, he actively played jazz trumpet in various groups and eventually started composing/arranging. He belonged to the university's 18-piece jazz orchestra and played the trumpet. His band performed at many concerts and in some competitions. Besides the University Orchestra, he formed several groups and performed in jazz clubs. He led the band Naoya Ogura Septet for years and performed on the main stage of some huge jazz festivals in Japan, such as the Takatsuki Jazz Street and the Biwako Jazz Festival. After his graduation, he started his professional career as a jazz musician. Since then, he has played in many places around Japan. He participated many times in the recording of jazz albums and pop albums as a trumpeter.
