When the skateboard culture grew strong in Sweden during the mid 90s, Alex picked up his guitar and formed a skatepunk band with some of his friends. Later, after having moved to the famous Swedish city Orebro, he began writing electronic music and the Kiriyama project was born. The Kiriyama sound could be described as Swedish forest music with influences from a great number of genres, primarily mid-90s goa trance, jazz and psychedelic music from the 1960s.
Alex founded Devils Mind Records together with Dennis The Menace in 2004, a label which specialises in releasing contemporary night music in limited editions. He frequently collaborates with Hishiryo and is right now working on his debut album.
Alex has performed in numerous countries besides Sweden such as Japan, USA, Spain, Russia, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Ukraine, Hungary, and Norway.

After having moved to the city of Oerebro, Alex discovered his predilection for synthesisers as a result of Weirdo Beardo having introduced him to the world of sequencers in the Little Blue Men studio. Years have passed and today Alex a k a Kiriyama is one of the co-founders of the Swedish power house Devils Mind Records and the studio group Checkpoint Music. He's frequently collaborating with French producer Hishiryo which has resulted in a number of co-produced tunes having been released, all of them comprising Japanese themes and East Asian influences.
Although it's common that people categorise Kiriyama as nocturnal music, Kiriyama's sound has a goaish slant today since goa trance was the music with which he fell in love during the mid 90s. With some ten tracks already out and more in the pipeline, he's currently working on his debut album which is planned for the first half of 2009. Moreover, he's currently compiling a CD of Scandinavian forest music for the Italian label Inpsyde Media.
