I was born in 1964. When I was born, I had a breathing problem and a close shave with death from a lungs inflammation. And I lost my voice. Therefore I tried to voice training then I got my voice at last.
When I was a child, I was very sensitive to sound. I learned to play piano by watching other people play. At age of 2, I listened to music only once and I was able to play it by ear with both hands. At age of 3, I began to study classical piano.
Because I have both perfect pitch and eidetic memory, I just know the whole piece with only the quickest glance at the score. Therefore I had not been troubled with piano lessons, and I was easily able to play a set piece from memory.
When I was very young, I was bored with rote learning method of playing the piano. Therefore I naturally became interested in composition and improvisation. At age of 9, I performed my first improvisation play in public.
