REIKO

From Osaka. Graduate of the Faculty of Music, Soai University.

Raised in a musical family — her grandmother a pianist and her mother a cellist — she began the piano at the age of three and the violin at four.

Began performing while still a university student.
Her performances, elegant and refined yet passionate, have been widely acclaimed. Rooted in classical music and centred on jazz, she has absorbed the essence of many genres including Latin, pop, Spanish and gypsy jazz to become a borderless violinist who crosses genre boundaries.

Grand Prix winner at the Kanazawa Jazz Competition.
Appeared as a backing band member on BS NHK's Shin Nippon no Uta, and performs live nationwide.
She is also engaged in education as a music school instructor and a high school teacher, working energetically to guide the next generation.
