keikotakamura.com is up!!
Keiko Takamura is a resident avatar of the online game, Second Life . Encouraged by fellow online musicians and a strong response from her fans, she signed on to Multiverse Records around May 2006 and is still continuing her virtual solo career.
Though she dabbles in art and other creative projects, music is her primary means of expressing herself in ways she couldn't otherwise. As a young girl, she was taught to never talk back or otherwise say anything contrary, so she had to channel her unheard voice into songs, which she kept to herself and her close circle of friends. "Singing is just a more socially acceptable form of screaming," she says.
Now diagnosed with PTSD, Keiko must voice her unheard stories through her music to overcome her past and finally experience a sense of self-worth.
She is also known in real life (or RL, as we affectionately refer to it in-game) as Amy Te.
