Musical background
When it turned out that both flute and guitar weren't really my instruments, I started taking singing lessons at 17. The following year I joined KOWAI and continued my music studies at university, where I also sang in various other groups (classical choir, acoustic projects, and close harmony ensemble). Currently, my only musical occupation is KOWAI.
