Although Mari was born bang in the middle of Tokyo, she has been living most of her life abroad, particularly in Europe. Mari will enhance her academic aspects in her musical studies at Cambridge University from October, after having focused on more practical sides of performing classical piano at the Purcell School of Music for 5 years. Her life with the piano began when she was six years old in Germany and currently studies with pianist Libor Novacek. During her teenage years she also took up the violin and harpsichord and is currently interested in other areas of music, particularly in the electronic and christian genre.
