Having studied classical piano from an early age, I developed a deep passion for jazz and pop music in my teenage years. I honed my ability to play by ear while also refining my skills in arranging. During university, I studied music theory while actively performing in Tokyo’s live houses and bars as a jam session host and support pianist. I also pursued singing and piano, and the cover videos I arranged and uploaded during my university years gained international recognition. Based in my hometown of Nagoya, I performed in trios and bands while supporting artists and participating in studio recordings. I played a key role in the production of an American singer-songwriter’s album, contributing improvisational performances and arrangements to dozens of recorded tracks. Since moving to London six months ago, I have been performing at various restaurants across the city. My next performance will take place on Valentine’s Day 2025, at a Piano Night hosted by a restaurant bar in London. -- EDUCATION： NAGOYA MUSIC UNIVERSITY 2016-2020 Department of Music MIZUMURA SAORI PIANO SCHOOL 2007- 2009 YAMAHA MUSIC PIANO SCHOOL 2000- 2006 ACCOLADES： - Won a prize at the Yamaha Junior Festival - Passed Yamaha's Grade 7 piano performance exam with all A’s - Czerny No. 40.
