Keiko Matsui is a citizen of the world. She tours relentlessly and has brought her music to virtually every corner of the globe. Her music transcends boundary and her unique melting pot of musical influences have garnered her a devout international following. "Music has no borders and it creates a oneness among people," confides the Japanese born pianist, composer and producer. "There have been many occasions when I have felt like music saved me. There is a connection between my fans and I and together in my music we are sharing harmony." An activist by nature, Keiko (pronounced Kay-Koe means 'happy, celebratory child' in Japanese) has not only used her music to speak to the world but she has lent her voice to causes championed by organizations like The United Nations World Food Programme, the Be March Marrow Registry and The National Donor Program and Marrow Foundation. With over a million and a half albums sold and scores of sold out concerts across the globe, Keiko Matsui is one of the brightest stars in instrumental music. Her free spirit and creative genius have afforded her the luxury to share the stage with everyone from Stevie Wonder and Miles Davis to Hugh Masakela and Bob James. On January 25, 2011 Shanachie Entertainment released The Road…, Keiko's long awaited, self produced and 22nd album released in the US.
