I was born in Osaka.
While I was at Elementary School, I, with my family, moved to Berlin, Germany.
I was enrolled in, and attended a local German school. (At that time, there were very few Japanese and no Japanese Schools.).
My lifestyle, language and way of thinking quickly became German.
In those years I came to listen to the 3Bs and Mozart.
As a result, my music library was almost totally made up of the classics.
…..until I discovered Jazz.
It wasn’t so long ago that I made this discovery.
It was not however, a singular event that created my love for jazz music. The attraction to the mystery and desire built up within me over time, to the point now where I have been inspired to sing and create my own jazz album.
I felt a natural magnetism towards jazz.
♪大阪で生まれた女。
小学生のとき父親の仕事の都合でベルリンに滞在。
現地校に通い、言葉もメンタリティーもドイツ人化する。
当然の如く、音楽は3Bやモーツアルトを聴き、
手持ちのCDは、ほとんどクラシックだった。
ジャズを知るまでは・・・。
それも、そう昔のことではなく
決定的なきっかけがあったわけでもない。
この数年の間、
いつのまにか、ジャズの不思議な魅力に惹かれ、
唄いたいと思うようになり
気づいたらCDまで出してしまった。
ジャズに自然に導かれているような気がする
