Kana Mimaki began her studies in piano at the age of three. By the age of five, she won her first competition and accepted her very first TV engagement. Kana went on to distinguish herself in competitions for her diversity of repertoire. She is willing to excel at any genre: she is equally confident with Mozart and Beethoven as she is with Liszt and Rachmaninoff. Her recent achievements include first prize awards from the Los Angeles Liszt competition, the San Jose Young Artist Competition and the International Russian Music Competition.

Kana hopes to one day become a concert pianist on the international circuit; she dreams of the opportunity to one day share her music with the rest of the world. "Everything that the audience see and hears in my performance is real; this is who I am as a person! In order to form a deep connection with those who listen to my music, I think it is important to have a musical presentation that is full of integrity."
