Shinichi Osawa was initially the bassist and producer for the well-known Japanese music collective Mondo Grosso, which formed in Kyoto in 1991 under the For Life Records label. In 1995, after the group broke up, Osawa focused on his own work and began collaborating with a variety of artists, including Monday Michiru, Amel Larrieux, UA, Chara, Dragon Ash and even Ayumi Hamasaki. In the middle of his collaborations at the end of 1997, Osawa reverted to an independent producer, releasing the R&B Acid Jazz infused House album Closer.

Osawa made the switch away from For Life Records to Sony Music Associated Records in 1999, and he then started an independent label. Over the years, he worked as a producer for musicians like Bird or Eri Nobuchika. The album he released in 2000 MG4 showed the range of his productions, fusing both house and jazz. It was the home of the famous song “Life” with Bird. In 2003, he released Next Wave, a more traditional house album.

In 2007, Osawa signed to record label Avex Trax. Feeling that, in comparison to his previous albums, the sound reflected more closely his DJ sets and performances (performed under his real name), Osawa released his electro house album The One under the moniker of ‘Shinichi Osawa’ rather than ‘Mondo Grosso’. “Our Song” was the initial single released in Japan, followed by the Chemical Brothers cover Star Guitar. Under his real name, Osawa has received more international attention, creating acclaimed remixes of Felix da Housecat’s “Radio” and Digitalism’s “Pogo”. He also performed at Electric Daisy Carnival, which was his first performance in America. He is also featured in Clazziquai’s Robotica album in a remix for Prayers by Christina Chu.
