Artist Profile
KANTA HIRAYAMAPercussionist Kanta Hirayama began his musical journey at the age of 12.
He has performed across a wide spectrum of genres including classical, jazz, pop, and contemporary music, building a foundation of technical mastery and artistic versatility. His career has always been driven by a pursuit that transcends categories: to explore the essence of sound and the resonance it creates within the human heart.
In recent years, Hirayama has dedicated himself to the expressive possibilities of the handpan.
Its luminous overtones allow him to weave rhythm and melody into a single voice that can whisper like a prayer or surge with the vitality of life.
Guided by his vision to connect the world through sound and to speak directly to the heart, Hirayama continues to expand his artistic horizons through both solo projects and collaborations with diverse musicians and creators, in Japan and internationally.
His latest album Sakura Kazashi embodies this vision in its purest form, inviting listeners to step beyond the everyday and into a soundscape of reflection, resonance, and renewal.
