Biography
I am a versatile music composer, arranger, pianist, and music director coming from Tokyo, Japan but living and working in New York. I have experience in a range of media including film, theater, commercials, and more. For example, the film “Jesus’ where I worked as a music director won the award in the San Sebastian Film Festival and International Film Festival and Awards of Macao. I played my song “Mariposas” at the Rattlestick playwright’s theatre and her song “Gay Icon” was featured in the Lincoln Centre’s “Broadway’s future Songbook”. Learned professional music theories and piano playing since the age of three, I produce various genres of music including classical, jazz, pop, Latin, R&B, film, electric, and theater. I possess the abilities of sight-reading, singing, and computer technology for composition and arrangement too. However, what I am most proud of above all the skillset I mentioned and what I found most important for a music career is the storytelling ability with melodies that capture the story, characters, and scenes. I write melodies that make you cry, smile, and dance.
