:: KEN KATO ::

Rhythm Guitar & Back-up Vocals

PERSONAL STUFF:Born in Japan on January 21, 1977 I grew up most of my life in Japan and moved to the states when I was 13 yrs. old. I was raised on rock, classical, jazz, and blues. When I moved to the states I was exposed to metal, hip hop, industrial, and any other type of music offered I listened to. Currently I tour and write with Changing Skin and I tattoo at Continental Tattoo in Long Island, New York. My hobbies include painting, machining, and strip clubs. By the way, if you wish to get tattooed by me you can reach me at 1.516.520.1077, additionally; if you want to take me out to a strip club in your town, call that number too.

FAV. BANDS: 16volt, tool, a perfect circle, nothing face, machine head, kidney thieves, kilgore, spine shank, ultrasapnk, fear factory, wu tang clan (and individual efforts by wu tang members), foxy brown, lionel hampton, and more.

INFLUENCES:I draw my influences not only from current peers but I also intake various transitions, hooks, etc. from any kind of music. Just like the list above, it can go on for days...

WORDS TO LIVE BY: The one sentence that has stuck with me is, "live for today". Beyond that I don't have any wise words. The only thing that I can say is to follow the path you believe is true and follow it honestly.

Ken Would Like to Thank:
I'm not going to start writning names here because I don't want to take up the entire website. So, to those that have belived in and supported me, thank you, and those that have begun to listen to what I play or appreciate my visual artwork, thank you. Also to those who have discouraged me or have been two faced with me, thank you; you only taught me to strive harder for what I believe in.
