Kento Mori Debuts as Music and AR Technology Fusion Act ‘AR Artist KENTO’

15.March.2020 | MUSIC

When he was 21-years-old, Nagoya-born dancer Kento Mori moved to Los Angeles in the US where he started his professional career as a dancer and signed to a US talent agency. Since then, he has gone on to be one of the most successful dancers in the world, having worked with a plethora of top US artists like Madonna, Christ Brown, Usher, Ne-Yo, Ciara, Chaka Kahn, and more.


Now, after almost 4 years of silence, Kento Mori is stepping into uncharted terriority as he announces his debut as AR Artist KENTO – the world’s first “AR artist” combining music with AR technology.

AR Artist KENTO dropped his debut single IM BACK worldwide across music streaming services and digital music platforms on March 3, 2020. This is the first of 60 planned songs which are set to roll out one at a time every week for an entire year.

 

A special video was also released using the latest live motion capture tech. This AR performance creates a “live” AR effect whereby the motion capture is shown in real time. The song is catered to the AR performance, effectively making “music that you can see.”

 

IM BACK is the first of AR Artist KENTO’s big project, and you can hear it now at the link below. Be sure to tune in regularly to catch subsequent releases.
