Judi Messina grew up in a musical family in Cleveland, Ohio. She started piano lessons at the age of 8, and moved to Houston, Texas immediately after graduation from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. She has taught piano and voice full-time since 1987, 5 days a week, and spends her spare time playing keyboard for ComedySportz Houston, teaching piano and voice classes through leisure learning Unlimited, and vacationing with her husband.

Judi was raised by parents who were musical mavericks in their respective families of origin, so she and her younger brother Dave got exposed to a cornucopia of styles, from classical to stripper music to pop and musical theatre. Not a typical piano student, Judi took lessons from 8 different teachers over a period of 12 years, developing an amazing ear and tolerance for jumping thru hoops for piano teachers, choir directors (accompanying and arranging), instrumental and voice contest students, and community theatre directors ("Here, learn this 200 page score by next week so the choreographer can record her dances..."). Judi teaches piano for a living, coaches vocal students, teaches piano improve and works as the keyboardist for the comedy troupe, ComedySportz Houston.

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."
