She moved to Tokyo after winning a special judge's trophy at the 26th Taiyo Canzone Italiana, the same competition won by Masashi Akikawa of A Thousand Winds fame. When he was bullied as a child, he was moved by how humming could cheer him up, and he organized an international music festival World Humming Day on October 10 every year at the EDION Peace Wing Soccer Stadium, where people all over the world sing the same humming song that comes out when they are in a good mood. The festival has become a hot topic on TV and newspaper news as a festival connecting the earth from Hiroshima that transcends language! The original song was composed with a focus on humming and charted at No. 1 in Japan on iTunes Music. She sang the national anthem at the Hiroshima CARP match, performed at the opening ceremony of the World Global Summit in front of the President of India, and has been invited to perform both in Japan and abroad.

• Ayumi Ueda

  Born and raised in Tokyo, Ayumi Ueda began singing at the age of four. Influenced by singing with her father, she became fascinated with music such as folk, country, and ethnic music, and decided to pursue music as a career. In January 2007, she enrolled in Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA. While at Berklee, she created her first large scale music project, Women of the World, as a path by which to connect her love of music and culture with her strong determination toward world peace and understanding. During this time, she also received a huge response from her fusion of crystal singing bowls and traditional Japanese music as a form of music therapy. Ayumi graduated from Berklee College of Music in May 2010 with a degree in Professional Music emphasizing performance, world music research, and music therapy. As a solo artist, leader of the Women of the World, and a sound and Reiki Healer, Ayumi continues to work both in USA and Japan as a multi-talented spiritual artist.
