===MONDO GROSSO Era (1991-2005)===
 
Osawa began his major recording career as the leader and the bassist for popular Japanese music group MONDO GROSSO, from which he derives his alias. Formed in 1991 and originating out of Kyoto with bandmates [[B-BANDJ]], [[Nakamura Masato]], and [[Otsuka Hidehito]], the band released their self-titled first album under the independent record label [[For Life Records]] on June 18, 1993. The album was very well received both domestically in Japan as well as internationally, leading to a new style in Japanese club music that would eventually become a standard. In 1995, after a second album released on October 10, ''[[Born Free]]'', featuring acid jazz stalwart [[Monday Michiru]] and the completion of their touring, the band officially disbanded.

Upon his expanding success as an up-and-coming producer, he left For Life Records and signed to major record label [[Sony Music Entertainment|Sony Music Associated Records]] in 1999. Upon this shift, Osawa was able to begin his own record label, [[REALEYES]], that same year.  Osawa produced another full-length album for a then-upcoming musician [[bird (singer)|bird]]. Her first album, ''[[Souls (bird)|SOULS]]'', was released on March 20, 1999, and became a massive hit domestically, selling well over 800,000 units.

After taking a temporary break from his own work, Osawa resumed activity under the name MONDO GROSSO. The following year Osawa would release life single "[[Life (MONDO GROSSO)|Life]]", featuring frequent collaborator, [[bird (singer)|bird]]. The single became his highest charting yet, peaking at #18 on the Oricon charts.  Following the release of one more single, he released his fourth full-length album, [[MG4]], on August 26, 2000, becoming a milestone in his solo music career. The album was met with critical acclaim, crediting the fusion of acid jazz and house, the display of the diversity in his style of production, and collaborations with musicians such as [[wikipedia:N'dea Davenport|N'dea Davenport]] and [[wikipedia:Amel Larrieux|Amel Larrieux]]. The album was released by Sony Music internationally in over 25 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and France.

In 2003, his fifth album "[[Next Wave]]" was released. The album became one of his most successful, debuting at #10 on the Oricon charts and selling over 150,000 copies, significant for a club-based album. In 2004, he produced "[[Samurai Theme]]" (later recorded in [[Wikipedia:Norman Cook|Fatboy Slim]]'s mix CD ''[[Wikipedia:Fala aí!|Fala aí!]]'') from [[Wikipedia:Bob Sinclar|Bob Sinclar]]'s [[Wikipedia:Yellow Productions|Yellow Production]] compilation series ''Africanism 3''.  That same year, he signed [[Nobuchika Eri]] to his now retitled FEARLESS RECORDS label, and produced four singles, a studio album, and a remix album with her before Nobuchika was dropped by Sony Music Associated Records in 2006 upon Osawa's move to avex's [[rhythm zone]] imprint.

===Osawa Shinichi Era (2006-Present)===
His first major release with [[rhythm zone]] came in the form of his first studio album under his real name, [[The One (Osawa Shinichi)|The One]], released on September 26, 2007 in Japan. The album introduced a darker and heavier electro house sound that was a far cry from his club-friendly and diverse productions under his MONDO GROSSO alias. Over a period of two years, the album would enjoy an international release through Avex in Asia as well as his overseas labels [[wikipedia:Dim Mak Records|Dim Mak Records]] for North America and Southern Fried Records in Europe and Oceania.

In between the international release of [[The One]], Osawa resumed producing for other artists, notably for [[Namie Amuro]], [[CHEMISTRY]], and [[Tomoyasu Hotei]]. In late 2008, Osawa participated in the project, [[ravex]], with fellow Avex labelmates and DJs Taku Takahashi of [[m-flo]] and Tomoyuki Tanaka a.k.a. [[Fantastic Plastic Machine]]. The project was a commemorative release by Avex celebrating its 20th anniversary in the Japanese music industry.  The project consisted of two physical singles, three digital singles, a vinyl, and a studio album, beginning with the single [[I RAVE U]] feat. [[DJ OZMA]] on August 6, 2008, and ending with the studio album [[trax]], released on April 29, 2009. The studio album consisted of collaborations with well-known Avex artists, including [[Tohoshinki]], [[Namie Amuro]], [[MONKEY MAJIK]], [[Tsuchiya Anna|ANNA TSUCHIYA]] and [[BoA]], among others. In September 2009, Osawa released his first remix complilation album, called [[Teppan-Yaki -A Collection of Remixes-|TEPPAN-YAKI -A Collection Of Remixes-]], one disc containing Osawa's remixes for international artists, and the second disc compiling his remixes for Japanese artists.

Osawa Shinichi (2010)

MONDO GROSSO (It: Big World) was originally a band formed in Kyoto in 1991, but eventually came to be the main alias of composer, DJ, musician, and producer Osawa Shinichi. Whilst releasing innovative tunes with his solo projects, Osawa has set out countless producing and remix works for both Japanese and international artists. As a composer and producer, Osawa has worked with Japanese artists like Amuro Namie, UA, Monday Michiru, bird, wyolica, Nobuchika Eri, BoA, and Crystal Kay. As a remixer he has remixed songs for both Japanese and international artists like Digitalism, Felix da Housecat, Benny Benassi, Anna Tsuchiya, Clazziquai Project, and m-flo, among many others. Osawa describes himself as a "Musical Multi-Personality", working in genres ranging from R&B, soul, and acid jazz, to pop, experimental, and electro house and has worked under other aliases such as DJ Murphy, Sakura Hills Disco 3000, and CROQUEMONSIEUR. He is currently under the rhythm zone label, while under Southern Fried Records overseas.

Information

MONDO GROSSO Era (1991-2005)

Osawa began his major recording career as the leader and the bassist for popular Japanese music group MONDO GROSSO, from which he derives his alias. Formed in 1991 and originating out of Kyoto with bandmates B-BANDJ, Nakamura Masato, and Otsuka Hidehito, the band released their self-titled first album under the independent record label For Life Records on June 18, 1993. The album was very well received both domestically in Japan as well as internationally, leading to a new style in Japanese club music that would eventually become a standard. In 1995, after a second album released on October 10, Born Free, featuring acid jazz stalwart Monday Michiru and the completion of their touring, the band officially disbanded.

Osawa began solo work soon after the dissolution, becoming a collaborator with already established musical entities in Japan. Through this transitional period, MONDO GROSSO morphed into more of a collaborative unit, featuring Osawa and various other vocalists and musicians whom he would release future albums with. With many of his self-produced collaborations, he released the album R&B-infused acid jazz album CLOSER on August 21, 1997. Around that same time, he began his career as a hit-making producer.

After the release of his third full-length album, Osawa turned his focus on production, working with many high-profile artists in Japan. His first explorations into full production began with the release of UA's single, "Rhythm", on September 24, 1996. He soon followed his first success in the field with the production of Monday Michiru's well-received single "You Make Me", released in 1998. After seeing success in producing singles, Osawa produced the entire album "Junior Sweet" from well-established Japanese pop musician Chara.

Upon his expanding success as an up-and-coming producer, he left For Life Records and signed to major record label Sony Music Associated Records in 1999. Upon this shift, Osawa was able to begin his own record label, REALEYES, that same year. Osawa produced another full-length album for a then-upcoming musician bird. Her first album, SOULS, was released on March 20, 1999, and became a massive hit domestically, selling well over 800,000 units.

After taking a temporary break from his own work, Osawa resumed activity under the name MONDO GROSSO. The following year Osawa would release life single "Life", featuring frequent collaborator, bird. The single became his highest charting yet, peaking at #18 on the Oricon charts. Following the release of one more single, he released his fourth full-length album, MG4, on August 26, 2000, becoming a milestone in his solo music career. The album was met with critical acclaim, crediting the fusion of acid jazz and house, the display of the diversity in his style of production, and collaborations with musicians such as N'dea Davenport and Amel Larrieux. The album was released by Sony Music internationally in over 25 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and France.

Osawa soon returned to the field of producing after the success of his solo album, producing and remixing for a number of established artists in Japan as well as internationally for artists such as Wyolica, BoA, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Jamiroquai. In 2002, Osawa provided a track, "BLZ", as the only contributor from Japan, for the official 2002 FIFA World Cup album Fever Pitch, which was released in over 30 countries worldwide.

In 2003, his fifth album "Next Wave" was released. The album became one of his most successful, debuting at #10 on the Oricon charts and selling over 150,000 copies, significant for a club-based album. In 2004, he produced "Samurai Theme" (later recorded in Fatboy Slim's mix CD Fala aí!) from Bob Sinclar's Yellow Production compilation series Africanism 3. That same year, he signed Nobuchika Eri to his now retitled FEARLESS RECORDS label, and produced four singles, a studio album, and a remix album with her before Nobuchika was dropped by Sony Music Associated Records in 2006 upon Osawa's move to avex's rhythm zone imprint.

Osawa Shinichi Era (2006-Present)

His first major release with rhythm zone came in the form of his first studio album under his real name, The One, released on September 26, 2007 in Japan. The album introduced a darker and heavier electro house sound that was a far cry from his club-friendly and diverse productions under his MONDO GROSSO alias. Over a period of two years, the album would enjoy an international release through Avex in Asia as well as his overseas labels Dim Mak Records for North America and Southern Fried Records in Europe and Oceania.

In between the international release of The One, Osawa resumed producing for other artists, notably for Namie Amuro, CHEMISTRY, and Tomoyasu Hotei. In late 2008, Osawa participated in the project, ravex, with fellow Avex labelmates and DJs Taku Takahashi of m-flo and Tomoyuki Tanaka a.k.a. Fantastic Plastic Machine. The project was a commemorative release by Avex celebrating its 20th anniversary in the Japanese music industry, and consisted of two physical singles, three digital singles, a vinyl, and a studio album, beginning with the single "I RAVE U" featuring DJ OZMA on August 6, 2008, and ending with the studio album trax, released on April 29, 2009. The studio album consisted of collaborations with well-known avex artists, including Tohoshinki, Namie Amuro, MONKEY MAJIK, Tsuchiya Anna and BoA, among others. In September 2009, Osawa released his first remix complilation album, called TEPPAN-YAKI -A Collection Of Remixes-, one disc containing Osawa's remixes for international artists, and the second disc compiling his remixes for Japanese artists.
