Ryosuke Kiyasu is an internationally acclaimed snare drum soloist, active since 2003. Known for his innovative performances, Kiyasu is also the drummer for renowned groups such as SETE STAR SEPT, Kiyasu Orchestra, and Keiji Haino’s band Fushitsusha. As a founding member of the Canadian band The Endless Blockade, he has contributed significantly to the global music scene.

His solo artistry has captured widespread attention, with his Berlin performance in 2018 amassing over 23 million views on social media. Esteemed outlets like BBC News and VICE Magazine have also featured his work. Between 2022 and 2024, Kiyasu performed at some of the world's most prestigious festivals, including the Überschlag Festival 2022, 2024 (the largest classical percussion festival globally), Dr. Martens Fest 23, the Outsider Art Festival in Finland, and the Alternativa Festival in the Czech Republic.

In 2023, his unique approach to snare drumming was highlighted at the Edinburgh Art Festival, where a British-directed short film of his performance became a major talking point. Beyond music, Kiyasu's artistic reach extends into fashion, with a collaboration alongside the Swedish brand Our Legacy.
