Chie played electric piano at age 5, and flute from age 10.
On entering high school in 1994, she had a life-changing encounter with the cello, and began playing the cello in the school orchestra.
She studied with the pioneering cellist and musical educator Yoritoyo Inoue, a devotee of Pablo Casals.
After graduation, Chie travelled to India to study yoga, which liberated her creativity and inspired her to make music the central focus of her life.
She began performing as a cellist in various bands.
Her composing, singing and poetry blossomed, as did her musical improvisations, deeply inspired by nature and in particular by birdsong.
In 2012, she began performing solo, and has released three albums under her own name.
While continuing to study the classics, she passionately explores new forms of music, alone and in collaboration with like-minded artists.
