DM Ashura is an electronic artist whose work can be found in the music games O2Jam, Dance Dance Revolution, and Flash Flash Revolution.
History
On March 26, 1986, William ("Bill") James Robert Shillito was born in Brooklyn, New York. He lived in Queens for 8 years and now resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Bill started playing piano at the age of 2 and composing around age 8. He also has played viola since age 12.
Bill creates his music under the name DM Ashura. The "DM" stands for Digital Maestro. He was well-known in the music game community for remixes of songs, particularly "neoMAX", which won first place in Tournamix 4, a DDR stepfile-writing contest.
Work in games
DM Ashura's music has recently been licensed for a number of music games:
Tracks in O2Jam (for PC):

All three of these songs can be found on the Malaysian server. GO! can be found on the Japanese server as well.
