Sawano was born in Tokyo, Japan. He began playing piano in elementary school. From the age of 17 he studied composition, arrangement, orchestration, and piano under Nobuchika Tsuboi. In 2014 he launched a new vocal song project under the name "SawanoHiroyuki", producing the first album UnChild with Aimer as the vocalist under the name SawanoHiroyuki: Aimer.
Since then his songs under this vocal song project have also been used as the opening and ending themes for various anime, including Aldnoah.

The Groove is music.nw’s own measure of renown — not an opinion, a fact computed from the record. It weighs reach (how many people engaged) against acclaim (how highly they rated it), balanced so a handful of votes can’t outshout a lasting favourite.
Computed the NeuraWeb way, across the whole record. The same yardstick for everyone — which is why the little-known can out-Groove the famous in their own corner.
