Jazz pianist/composer/arranger

About Me

I began my musical life at the age of six by playing classical piano. I am originally from Japan, now living in NY. I began her jazz studies at the acclaimed Berklee College of Music. After graduating from Berklee, I received a full scholarship at Long Island University. My next achievement was a Masters of Music degree at the highly esteemed Manhattan School of Music where I graduated with top honors.

Those Universities offered me a wealth of precious experience to study with great jazz musicians, such as Bruce Barth, Dave Leibman, and Kenny Barron. I also has a passion for arranging for small to larger ensembles. This passion has led me to further studies with two great master arrangers, Jim McNeely and David Matthews.

My schedule remains active playing popular US venues like the Blue Note New York and the Kitano Hotel as well as Japan tour, jazz clubs and jazz festivals.

I have just released her “New York Calling” CD in the United States, February 01,2009.
