About
Chroma turned a terrible viral Super Mario Bros. cover into a decade-long composer career. Born Masaki Sekikawa in Japan on September 16, 1993, the self-taught musician became known in 2007 while still in high school for a notoriously bad rendition that paradoxically launched his rise. He later mastered Vocaloid software, earned a Hall of Fame award, and scored Konami's Sound Voltex games, winning the Highest Excellence Award for his track "I" in 2018. A Virgo by birth, Chroma embodies the sign's methodical self-improvement.

Biography
Chroma (Masaki Sekikawa) is a Japanese composer and musician born September 16, 1993. His trajectory began with infamy: in 2007, while still in high school, a viral video of him performing the Super Mario Bros. soundtrack—poorly, by his own assessment and Internet consensus—unexpectedly became his entry point to public recognition. Rather than fade into obscurity, Sekikawa doubled down on craft, teaching himself music theory and embracing Vocaloid production software, where he earned a Hall of Fame award. His visible growth stunned online communities and attracted news coverage. After completing a music degree at age 20, he relocated to Tokyo and began freelancing. Since then, he has composed extensively for Konami's Bemani Sound Voltex game series, winning the Highest Excellence Award in 2018 for his composition "I". As a Virgo (born September 16), Chroma's trajectory reflects the sign's association with refinement through adversity and meticulous skill-building. He continues to release albums on streaming platforms. A Life Path 11 (per numerology enrichments), Sekikawa's arc—from meme to master—channels the "master number" archetype of transformation through public visibility.
★ ORIGIN
Before Fame
Sekikawa grew up in Japan and was still in high school when the 2007 viral Super Mario Bros. video appeared. At that point, he had no formal music training, and the cover was widely mocked as technically poor. He began studying music seriously after this unexpected notoriety, eventually graduating with a music degree at age 20 before moving to Tokyo.
