Biography
Uehara was born in Hamamatsu, Japan.[2] She started learning piano at the age of six and was introduced to jazz by her piano teacher Noriko Hikida when she was eight.[1][3] At age 14, she played with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. When she was 17 years old, she met Chick Corea by chance in Tokyo and was invited to play with him at his concert the next day. After being a jingle writer for a few years for Japanese companies such as Nissan, she enrolled to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.[4] There, she was mentored by Ahmad Jamal and had already signed with jazz label Telarc before her graduation.
Anthony Jackson, who was previously a guest on the Brain album, joined Uehara along with drummer Simon Phillips as part of the Trio Project for the 2011 album Voice. The Trio Project went on to make the albums Move (2012), Alive (2014), and Spark (2016).[5] Spark reached the number one position on the US Billboard Jazz Albums chart for the week of April 23, 2016.[6]
In 2021 she performed at the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
In 2023 she performed a Tiny Desk Concert.
Instruments
In a 2010 interview, Uehara said she plays the Yamaha CFIII-S concert grand piano, Nord Lead 2, Clavia Nord Electro 2 73, Clavia Nord Stage Piano, and Korg microKORG.[7]
