Embracing the Unconventional with Utena Kobayashi | Music | Metropolis
When Kobayashi made the controversial decision to quit university, she has a secret weapon to success: the steel pan. So far, she has joined a host of diverse Japanese musicians' projects who are the hottest musicians in their genres, such as indie group D.A.N., rapper KID FRESINO and the Shuta Hasunuma Philharmonic Orchestra. "The steel pan is a Caribbean instrument meant to provide warm sounds," she explains, "but working with those artists helped me establish my own style."
