“The moment Miyuki’s drumming unleashes its incredible groove, people are instantly captivated. I’m one of them too!!”
— David Cowan, Berklee College of Music, Associate Professor, Member of One Tribute Nation (LA)
I have had the pleasure of working with Miyuki on a recent album project wherein she not only provides incredible drumming work, but serves as a musical compass and advisor on the material. Without her seasoned musical input and suggestion, this material would be a pale shadow of what it’s become. She is a genuine artist as well as a tactician who knows that a piece needs to come into fruition. She has an ear for seemingly every genre and is not limited by narrow personal preferences.
—Jason Eric Perlman (Fiction, Deadstar Collective, Various Film Scores)
Miyuki creates immersive, story-driven audio that syncs naturally with visual media and live experiences. She delivered end-to-end production—from composition and sound design through mixing and mastering—and built a distinctive sonic identity across video, documentary, and event use. I was especially impressed by how she sampled a 100-year-old “Kurume gasuri” weaving machine and recontextualized Japanese craftsmanship through the global language of Lo-fi House. It wasn’t simple fusion; it was a thoughtful re-narration of Japanese sensibility for an international audience—work that was featured in New York Textile Month 2024. With a Professional Engineer (Japan) background and a practice informed by acoustic engineering and cognitive science, she brings both artistic clarity and technical intention to neurodiverse-accessible, inclusive sound design.

Miyuki is an Amazing artist! Her music and beautiful skill working with audio textures are always inspiring and certainly a pleasure to work with.
“I’ve known Miyuki for many years through performances and collaborations across Southeast Asia, including projects in Japan, Vietnam, and Singapore. From the start, she stood out as a strong, musical drummer with great feel, solid instincts, and an easygoing professionalism that made her a pleasure to work with. Over time, I’ve watched her expand her work beyond performance and take on broader creative roles. She approaches projects thoughtfully, communicates clearly, and follows through – qualities that matter just as much as musicianship in real-world collaborations. Miyuki brings an international perspective shaped by working across cultures and disciplines, and is a collaborator I’m always glad to work alongside”
