JONTE is one of the recruitments that LDH made after the VOCAL BATTLE AUDITION. He has Korean roots so they tried to launch his music career in Japan, China and Korea at the same time. He also has some songs that are covers of Korean ones which are sung in Korean too. As a singer, he debuted in 2007 with the record label rhythm zone and released the single Yureru and a mini-album titled JONTE is… (both released on August 22nd 2007). JONTE’s main genre is ballad with a little Soul flavor. This is strongly related with Korean’s ballad genre which is known for its slow tempo, romantic lyrics and strong vocals.

He also released in January 20th of 2010 a Best Album titled My Way ·~Hajimari no Basho~. After his last release of 2012, JONTE went back to perform on stage plays and musicals, such as TEREBI no Namida (March of 2013) or WEEZU ~OZU no Mahou Tsukai~ (a musical based in The Wizard of OZ).
He left both LDH and the label rhythm zone earlier this 2015, in March 31st. He will continue to pursue his acting career as well as keep on singing. In July 29th, producer Ryuichiro will launch the single RIDE ON! featuring JONTE, being this his first musical release in 3 years. The song is an upbeat dance-pop track.
