Ken Lloyd

Kentaro James Shibuya Lloyd (born March 25, 1976 in London) is a Japanese-British musician, vocalist and songwriter.

He is currently in the band Fake? and was previously in Oblivion Dust and Addict of the Tripp Minds.

With an English father and a Japanese mother, Lloyd has an international sensibility that comes from having grown up in Tokyo and London. A self-proclaimed former guitarist, Lloyd's announcement that he join up professionally to the band Oblivion Dust as vocalist after he played as second guitar in the band previous to Oblivion Dust, called Addict of the Tripp Minds, but in a drunken slur his vocalist dropped out the band and Ken became the vocalist of the band, now called Oblivion Dust. As a message to his mother and father, who expressed concerns about his future, he printed the message "currently disobeying my parents" on his pick, but there was no reaction.

In September 23, 2001, Oblivion Dust disbanded. He then joined up with ex-Luna Sea member Inoran and formed Fake?, of which he is the vocalist. Although Inoran dropped out of the band on October 30, 2005, Lloyd continued with the band.

About his private life is almost unknown, except he had a relationship with the singer Olivia Lufkin.

He also has appeared as a model in fashion magazines and every Friday since January 2007 he is DJ on a radio show on Inter-FM called Ken Lloyd's 13 Days.
