Biography

DYGL is formed in Tokyo, Japan at one of the most famous music society in the universities. DYGL (pronounced Day-glo) might have begun via a hometown tradition, but it's in this cross-continental, wide-reaching approach that they've truly found their place.

The band released their first EP recorded in the US. As Nobuki Akiyama (vo) said that the1st album would be the first step for public recognition,[3] they successfully released the 1st album in April 2017, which was produced by Albert Hammond Jr.. With huge supports and love from Albert,[4] DYGL did ASIA tour, JAPAN tour and some shows in the UK and US.[5]
