No information is given about this artist on the web. The name might be just one of several psuedonyms by a music producer at a label. It could also be because the musicians remain anonymous via the label who distributes the music. This is usually done to save money in royalties, and drive down costs for the streaming service. Spotify has denied that they "create fake artists". You can read more about these artists here: Musicbusinessworldwide.com Digitalmusicnews.com Theguardian.com <a href="h

Encyclopedic overview
William Adams (24 September 1564 – 16 May 1620), better known in Japan as Miura Anjin (三浦按針; 'the pilot of Miura'), was an English navigator who, in 1600, became the first Englishman to reach Japan. He was later granted samurai status, and was recognised as one of the most influential foreigners in Japan during the early 17th century.
He arrived in Japan as one of the few survivors of the ship Liefde under the leadership of Jacob Quaeckernaeck. It was the only vessel to reach Japan from a five-ship expedition launched by a company of Rotterdam merchants (a voorcompagnie, or predecessor, of the Dutch East India Company). Soon after his arrival in Japan, Adams and his second mate Jan Joosten became advisors to shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu, and each was appointed as hatamoto.
