Hidemi Akaiwa is a Japanese pianist/composer/MicroJammer. At the age of 30, she shifted from a successful, corporate career to jazz music. She is attending Berklee College of Music as a full scholarship recipient participating in the Global Jazz Institute, the Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, the Planet MicroJam Institute, and Berklee Interdiscipline Arts Institute, having had the privilege to study with world-class musicians Danilo Perez, Kenny Werner, Terri Lyne Carrington, Kris Davis, Billy Childs, David Fiuczynski, and many others. Her passion is to create a new art form infusing the tenets of Japanese Zen with the sounds of jazz and contemporary classical music with microtones. You could enjoy her playing with full of creativity and aesthetic beyond genres in the world. You could also follow her on Instagram.
