Starting piano at the age of three, she graduated from the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich and the Royal Conservatory of Madrid. Based in both Spain and Kyoto, she travels the world, drawing inspiration from nature, people, and diverse cultures — expressing what she feels through the 88 keys of the piano, as if painting with sound. Rooted in classical music, she continues to compose works infused with a uniquely Japanese sensibility. She has performed concerts at many World Heritage sites, including the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and the Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba in Spain, as well as Kiyomizu-dera and Kasuga Taisha in Japan. She has also composed music for numerous NHK television programs in Japan, including "Shiawase kibun no Supeingo(Happiness in Spanish)", "Neko no Shippo Kaeru no Te(Cats Whiskers and Frogs Hands)", "Seasons of Yamato", and "Omusubi Nippon" etc.
