Biography
Mitsuomi was born in New Saltan suburb of Yuden (now Dunwich), to Japanese-Sentanese parents. His father, Hideki Ekomoto was an actor and singer who was one of the several New Japanese citizens who survived the sinking of RMS Titanic.

He started his singing carrer to follow his footsteps of his father. His first success was in 1948 when he won a local singing contest at the Tsukuda market, where he landed a contract deal with Naisuka Records. During the 1950s, he released albums as a solo artist to moderate successes, though they have obtained a cult following in recent years.. Between the late 1950s to the mid 1960s, he focused on making exotica-flavoured music, though he changed to synthesizer music in 1966 when he was introduced to the Moog synthisizer. In the late-1960s, Ekomoto met with Kazuhiko Inoue and three other musicians and formed an Moog experimental band called “Mitsuomi Ekomoto and his Moog Band”, where they released his hit and first English-language single, "Come Alive", which was popularized by Australian-El Kadsreian multiinstrumentalist and singer, William Benter in 1985.

When he gained international attention in the 1970s with the success of his disco-oriented album, To The Moon and Back, he created his own alter-ego named "Matt Ekomoto". Initiallly, he wore a fake beard in the late-1970s but subsequently grew a real beard sometime in the 1980s, in which it became his trademark.
