Masako
MASAKO started taking piano lessons at the age of four, and had the privilege of being a student of Ms. Yuko Yamaoka, a legendary piano teacher who was a judge for the International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow, and a vibrant and brilliant performer in her own right. Starting to perform professionally at eighteen, Masako thinks she has worked in every music genre that she has interest in. But no matter what categories of music she happened to be working in, she was always composing tunes, exploring new ideas, and expanding her horizons.
