HOWIE DOROUGH: Collaborated With Ishikuni and Udani

Ishikuni and Udani have known each other since 2006, when they shared an interest in Capsule, a Japanese electronic music duo. They collaborated online, with Udani setting down beats and Ishikuni adding her vocals. But it was just a few months ago they formed Alt/Air, deciding on the name after a night spent searching for random names on Google...........

Ishikuni and Udani have the musical pedigree to pull it off. In high school, Ishikuni auditioned for and eventually signed with Avex, a Japanese recording label. Her projects in Japan included a collaboration with Japanese recording artists BoA and M-Flo, Christina Milian and Howie Dorough of the Backstreet Boys on songs for the Japanese "Bratz" TV series.
