Hiromi: A Force of Musical Fusion
Hiromi Uehara, known professionally as Hiromi, is a true innovator in the world of jazz. Born in Hamamatsu, Japan, she began her musical journey at the age of six and quickly evolved into a global sensation. Blending genres like stride, post-bop, progressive rock, classical, nu jazz, and fusion, her compositions and performances are electric, energetic, and unforgettable. From performing with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra at 14 to sharing the stage with Chick Corea as a teenager, Hiromi’s career is a testament to her unparalleled talent and fearless creativity.
Her artistry has taken her from the halls of Berklee College of Music, where she was mentored by jazz legends like Ahmad Jamal, to the international stage, including her performance at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony. Hiromi’s music is a kaleidoscope of influences, and we sought to capture that vibrancy in her concert poster.
