Hiromi, a pianist and composer, was born in Shizuoka, Japan, in 1979. At the age of 6, she started playing the piano and became a student of the Yamaha Music School to learn composing. In 1999, Hiromi went to the United States to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. In 2003, she made her worldwide debut, releasing her first album on the Telarc label titled "Another Mind" produced by Ahmad Jamal and Richard Evans. In 2007, she performed with legendary pianist and mentor Chick Corea in Tokyo. This live performance recorded on Chick's double album "Duet" was released in 2009 and attracted attention among music fans.

 

 

Hiromi also collaborated with bassist Stanley Clarke for the album "Jazz in the Garden" by the Stanley Clarke Trio, featuring her and drummer Lenny White.

In 2013, Hiromi released the latest album "MOVE" under the same trio project as "Voice".
