YUKI(Yuki Shibamoto) is a Japanese Recorder Player based in Los Angeles. Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. The encounter with the most famous Japanese recorder player, Minoru Yoshizawa made a significant impact on her life, and she ended up being under the tutelage of Mr. Yoshizawa, one of the most famous Japanese for over 25 years. YUKI has won the gold prize in the solo artist category in the Japanese Nationwide Recorder Competition three times. She devoted her time to grow her career as a professional recorder player. In recent years, she continued to make recorder music from art, landscapes, people, sunlight,…and even cheese to this day. She doesn’t call what she does as expressing herself through music but sees herself acting like an “intermediary” between the recorder and the medium. She has been continuously releasing her original recorder songs. (引用元)
