Pico Masaki is one of the VERY FEW singer songwriters in the world who incorporate contemporary elements into the the traditional Asian instrument and SING with it. She has performed at many festivals such as Global Soundscapes Festival presented by Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra. Her style is unique as she tunes her Koto/Guzheng not only in a traditional way but also in a Western way (Do, Re, Mi, as if you tune a piano). This makes it possible for her to play multicultural music (traditional Celtic music, Latin and pop among other genres) to create a fusion of Western and Eastern sounds showcasing the diversity of the city and communities in which we live.
