About Me

Myspace LayoutsMy musical journey began when I was small with my mum who is a piano teacher. I graduated from the Osaka College of Music (musicology), Osaka, Japan, where I come from and did DipEd (Music/LOTE)at the university of Melbourne. I have travelled Europe, (lived in London and went to lots of acid jazz gigs!), Singapore, Indonesia (lived in Bali) to be culturally inspired, broaden my mind and to have global thinking, I am currently living in Melbourne, the most fascinating multicultural city in the world. Multicultural environtment inspires me. Different people, different rhythm, different ideas....so good to jam with others! so happy to be here and play music - the universal language - the language can reach anyone from any cultural background. Thank you for visiting myspace.com/groovemelbourne :)*******************************************Talk about Love
