Welcome!

Thank you so much for visiting my website. I really appreciate your interests and supports!
It was wonderful experiences to play with great musicians through gigs and sessions from 2022.
Jazz always leads me somewhere a new place so I can't help following it.
I'm looking forward to singing jazz in this year, too, to reach the next stage of my life where I've never seen before.
My passion for the music is still full to play and compose new works in 2024. I will walk my way one by one, while I wish world peace...
Yes, we need more music for peaceful mind.
See you many places and let me sing to the borderless world for joy. Please join us anytime and anywhere!

P.S. I lost the best friend, Yaron Elyashiv last summer in 2022. It was huge grief and still hurt me a lot. I will never forget him and his music, taught me many precious things, including jazz. Without Yaron, I couldn't sing jazz and have survived in New York. Thank you, Yaron. You will be in my heart forever.

Finally, my first album, Walk My Way, was released in January, 2016!
Trio: Masami Ishikawa (G), Seth Lewis (Bass), Paul Francis (D)
I am so lucky to play with such a great trio. In fact, their sound is truly amazing. Masami arranged a couple of my songs. Paul is usually playing with Lady Gaga. His drum and percussion brought such liveliness. Seth's deep and grounded bass sound tied it all together.
Most of them, nine songs are my originals, including two Japanese songs.
I will sing and share these music in many venues and hope to have wonderful moments with many people.
