with support from m DJ SPELL + DJ REMINISE

Hailing from Japan, DJ RENA made history as the youngest-ever DMC World Champion, winning the title at just 12 years old and redefining what was possible in turntablism on a global scale. Far more than a technical virtuoso, he is an electrifying dance floor rocker whose dynamic style has propelled him onto the International stage.

After marking a major milestone in his career by performing at the Opening Ceremony of the Rugby World Cup in 2019, DJ RENA continued to expand his global presence. He later appeared during Expo 2025 Osaka as a special guest at the Panasonic Group Pavilion, further cementing his role as a cultural ambassador for modern DJ culture. He has also performed at prestigious venues worldwide, including renowned museums such as Louvre Abu Dhabi, where he appeared as a member of the Turntable Symphonograph Orchestra, an elite orchestra composed exclusively of turntables. His influence extends beyond live performance, with appearances in global commercials for Pepsi, Technics, and many more.

In 2025, DJ RENA was invited to headline Billboard Live Tokyo, and he continues to appear at leading international events, including Bastid's BBQ Toronto, curated by Skratch Bastid, and The Soulitude Urban Expressions Festival in Geneva. He has notably shared the stage with influential artists such as DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, A-Trak, Bilal, and The Alchemist, among others throughout his career.

Today, DJ RENA continues to push the boundaries of turntablism and DJ culture, seamlessly connecting tradition and innovation through performances around the world.
