I was born and raised in a small town named Yanai in Japan. Growing up in a non-musical family, I was fortunate to learn the Saxophone. I learned a great deal about technique and about classical music, and I started teaching saxophone as an instructor for the Yamaha Corporation. It was one of my saxophone students who introduced me to jazz, and I was soon fully immersed in the many colorful ways to express my music afforded by Jazz.

I came to New York with a passion for jazz and. began studying at the New School, absorbing everything around me and developing my voice in jazz, earning my BFA in jazz performance. At 31, I am now musically mature and have made New York my home. I see New York as the capital of the Art World and the Musical Center of the universe.

Being a Japanese jazz musician is challenging since it is claimed that Japanese jazz artists can't swing. It is here that I want to make my mark in the art world, putting the swing into Japanese Jazz. I look forward to an extensive study of music in culture in your program to better understand how music is rooted in society and social psychology. It is true that Japanese people; and my parents are exemplary in this, consider it shameful to make one's deepest expressions fully public. Thus, I see myself as a musical pioneer dedicated to the quest of liberating Japanese Jazz. The Japanese people are fascinated with Jazz, and I want to visit Japan with frequency, bringing with me the unbridled happiness and unbearable lightness of New York--to share with my people.
