Composer, Arranger / Began studying classical piano at the age of four, and was influenced by composers such as Debussy, Ravel, and Stravinsky. After studying music at a music junior college in Japan, majored in composition and arrangement at Berklee College of Music. Studied practical arranging techniques ranging from small ensembles to large-scale Singer's Showcases under Richard Evans, a bassist, arranger, and producer. From this period onward, became deeply immersed in jazz, R&B, and gospel music. Influences including Bill Evans, Michel Petrucciani, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Aretha Franklin and Take 6 remain deeply rooted in the artist's musical perspective today. With a musical background spanning classical music, jazz, R&B, and gospel, the guiding principles of the work are Less is more and boldly exploring ideas beyond conventional boundaries. Pursues music beyond genre boundaries, and currently aims to express a unique musical world under the concept of Sentimental Ballad.
