A unique singer-songwriter of her own right, with a creative mind since childhood, her first pursuit was to study Fine Art in London.

After picking up a guitar quite accidentally at 17, she came up with 30 songs a month without any knowledge of chords; the demo caught the attention of Sony Music Japan and made her debut in 2004.

The journey took on after that, from performing with squatters to the legendary members of the Pretenders in London, releasing consecutive original albums and establishing as an authentic singer-songwriter inspired by the great female singer songwriters such as Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush.

She ambitiously pursues both painting and music through combining live shows with exhibitions and visual performances.

Her vocal hero is Karen Carpenter.

Rie will be playing some recent singles as well as unreleased, brand new tracks.
