Nolm was born and bred in a traditional and working-class district in Tokyo, Japan. Surrounded by matsuri (festival) culture, he has learned Japanese folk music since he was 3 years old.

After encountering psytrance in 2002, he has become a DJ and discovered forest sound on VA / Boldly Audio, released by Sanaton Records in 2005. In the following year, he joined Savage Family artist group, which led by Savage Scream and started producing his own sound. Then he moved to Kansai area in south Japan, organised psytrance parties, Mystlake with likeminded people in 2007, and invited forest psytrance artists such as Procs and Hutti Heita. In 2008, he released some of his first tracks from Phreex Networx and a track called, “Mystlake” from Sanaton Records.
