Biography: Sho Izami (Justin) comes from Bryan, Ohio. He lived there for 15 years before his current Arizona residence. He graduated Hamilton High School in 2000, being the first of his class to graduate from the school. Sho's interest in art began in the middle of his senior year at the age of 18, his first desktop wallpaper was basically a black and white abstract that he scribbled on photoshop. His talent slowly grew from tutorials and bascially just messing around on photoshop. To this day he spends a great deal of time on photoshop and improving his skills, doing artwork for local bands: AcidicA, Angels in Bondage, The Strand, and fan pieces for well known industrial acts such as: Front Line Assembly, Velvet Acid Christ, and Dismantled.
His music interests started from The Beatles at his young age from his parents encouragement. And then slowly began get into electronic bands such as: The Prodigy, The Crystal Method, Juno Reactor, and the Chemical Brothers. Napster the controversal file-sharing program was the trigger that started his interest in industrial music. Upon looking for remixes for Juno Reactor he found a fake remix for VNV Nations "Honour", after d/loading and wanting to find out more about this style of music he found refrences to Front Line Assembly among other bands. When searching for FLA on Napster he came across "Prophecy" from the implode album, he loved it and frantically looked for the album at Tower Records and became a huge fan. He then began experimenting with other bands and became a fan of the industrial scene.
When looking for Funker Vogt at Zia Records (A local Mom&Pop store in the Phoenix area) he met Drake Kamel of "Angels in Bondage". Both became good friends and Sho became a fan of his music. Sho then did fanart wallpapers for AIB and became one of the main sources of artwork for the band. He then became Drake's roommate and keyboardist, and was introduced to his friend Jay of "AcidicA". After a year of learning the in and outs of the industrial scene and meeting some popular people, Sho is steadly getting his name around about his artwork and his involvement with the Phoenix local bands. He played live with Angels in Bondage in Tucson for an opening act for the popular "Dismantled" from the Metropolis Records label. Sho is still currently doing artwork for "AcidicA" and "Angels in Bondage" and for just about anyone that wants some "cool" artwork for their band.
