女優として出演した舞台で「二胡」と出会い、魅せられ、以来二胡奏者として活動を続ける。
2007年1月、日本人二胡奏者として初のメジャーデビュー。歌っているかのようだと評される演奏はもちろん、オリジナリティ溢れる作曲能力と魅せるステージング、中国の民族楽器としての二胡にとらわれない幅広い音楽性、その独特の艶やかな音色は聴く人の心を魅了している。近年では二胡だけでなく、歌での表現にも力を入れており、その歌声はファンのみならず音楽家からの評価も高い。
2014年よりサウンドプロデュースに作曲家の寺嶋民哉氏を迎え、物語を音楽で綴るアルバム制作を開始。その独自の世界観は国内外問わず注目を集め、台湾や上海、フィンランドでもコンサートを行うなど海外へ向けても精力的に活動中。
