HIROKO NISHIKAWA
I started playing the Electone at the age of 5 and switched to the piano at 8. Inspired by a saxophone player I saw on TV, I knew early on that I wanted to become a saxophonist.
At 17, I finally got my hands on the instrument. After graduating from high school, I entered the Jazz Course of the Instrumental Department at Senzoku Gakuen College of Music, where I studied under Bob Zung. There, I not only developed my technique but also gained the mental resilience and creativity essential for a professional musician.
Following my graduation, I participated in a jazz festival in the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake. That experience profoundly deepened my musical drive and led me to pursue further studies in Europe.
In 2012, I studied at Performers House in Denmark and then relocated to Sweden in 2013. Since 2017, I have been working as a freelance musician, performing and collaborating both in Sweden and internationally.
