Alongside her work as a geriatric physician caring for older adults, Chika Kobayashi writes, composes, arranges, performs, and releases original music.
She began playing the piano in early childhood. During junior high school, she discovered The Beatles through a cassette tape of Western music compiled by her father, an avid record collector. That experience became the foundation of her musical creativity. While at university, she began performing Beatles piano and vocal arrangements at live music venues.
In 2007, she formed the pop band Ramune as vocalist and keyboardist, releasing a single through Kirakira Records. She began producing solo works with DTM in 2014, and in 2015 worked as a demonstrator for the KORG Liverpool keyboard, performing the music of Lennon and McCartney.
Since 2018, under the artist name Dr.Chika, she has focused on creating piano and music box compositions for sleep, relaxation, and peaceful mornings. Her signature work GOOD NIGHT has received more than three million views on YouTube, and her instrumental music has reached listeners through digital music services around the world.
Today, she continues her musical activities under two artist names, Chika Kobayashi for singer songwriter works and Dr.Chika for instrumental music. Through both songs and instrumental compositions, she creates music that accompanies people through the many moments of life and shares it with listeners around the world.
