Piano-playing singer-songwriter / Executive Committee Member, Special Music Festival in Rinku Osaka

Sachiyo Housui

I learned to hit the keys on a toy piano, started Electone lessons at six, and began piano at ten.

I loved the piano so much that I declared, “I want to go to a music college!” and from junior high I studied vocal music, ear training, and music theory (though I never even took the entrance exam in the end).

In my childhood, my saxophone-playing father introduced me to jazz, and my mother to rockabilly.

I was utterly obsessed with classical music in junior high.

In high school, my grandmother took me to hear live tango performances, and before I knew it I’d become an eclectic listener.

Lately, influenced by my high-school-aged daughter, I’ve been listening to koto music and nagauta.

I hold the rather rare qualification of ‘Music Proficiency Test Level 3, Western Music track.
