IYCO’s ambition is to create music which evokes images of nature such as sky, sea, wind, rain and earth.
Her aim is to incorporate African-style music in her
compositions. In this way, she can create her own unique
brand of Japanese-African music. She has set her sights
on introducing this to the world.
