She is an international girl who grew up in Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, and Japan, and is multilingual, fluent in four languages. She also holds a diploma from Trinity College London in classical piano performance, so she is well-versed in a wide range of genres, including pop, rock, and classical music.

Mr. Hiwatari is not only a composer. He is also an arranger, pianist, educator, and artist manager. He is also the co-founder of a company called SozoMart.
