Atsumi is an international musician, composer and performer dedicated to the belief that music is a universal language capable of profound healing. She loves speaking this language and shares her life experiences through her songs.

 

Atsumi has been a professional Taiko artist since age 13, studying under the late Master Takemasa Ishikura, who came from an elite Taiko lineage. He brought his specialized art form from Japan and was a pioneer in popularizing Taiko in the United States. Honoring him and her heritage, Atsumi remains dedicated to this stylistic approach while also drawing from the traditional spiritual roots of Taiko.

 

Descended from a long line of practitioners of healing arts and musicians, Atsumi’s true passion lies in the transformative healing power of sound. By pairing the science behind music therapy with her natural born intuition and empathy, she acts as an energetic conduit for transformation, helping people tune in to comfort, healing and connection.
