The Perfect Mix: Music and Heritage

Mark de Clive-Lowe is a musician, DJ, and producer whose career spans multiple musical genres, from jazz to house. In recent years, he has drawn more deeply from his heritage, creating some of his most personal work yet. As his music began to reflect more of Japan's influence, a series of unexpected events led him to move to Tokyo.

• The decision to not take up a teaching position in the US and instead move to Japan
