Profile

Born in Naha City Okinawa Prefecture. Began playing classical piano at age 4. He attended Yamaha music classes from age 4 to the 2nd year of middle school and completed all courses. After graduating from high school, he moved to Tokyo and entered the Musashino College of Music piano department. After graduating from university, I went back to Okinawa and continued classical activities for a while, but I couldn't forget the influence of my father, who is a jazz saxophonist, and Errol Garner's piano, the first jazz record I heard, so I switched to the jazz piano I had always admired. Currently, in addition to performing as a regular pianist at jazz clubs and hotels in the prefecture, they also teach at home while performing piano performances for Maeiri Hideki Big Band and OJA Jazz Orchestra, jazz events, party performances, and in-base performances. Also, since 2018, as a member of the Ryukyu Philharmonic Jazz Players, they have performed on remote islands at various locations. The self-produced full album “Moon Rakers” was released on 2022/4/1.
