Bio
Erika Ito is a composer, orchestrator, arranger, pianist, and music director. She received a degree from Berklee College of Music in Boston USA as a Film Scoring Major, and the Conservatorium van Amsterdam in Amsterdam The Netherlands. She was born in Tokyo, Japan. She has always loved playing and composing music since she was a child. She played percussion in a brass band, and piano in a children's choir. When Erika was in primary school, she watched the Disney film Beauty and the Beast and was deeply amazed by the music of composer Alan Menken. She naturally became interested in music for theater and film. Her first taste of publicity was when she had the opportunity to write original music for the play Otsuberu to Zo, written by Kenji Miyazawa. The play was first performed in Tokyo, Japan when Erika was only thirteen years old. After graduating from high school, she decided to be a composer and started learning composition and piano formally. She composed music and songs for musicals and documentaries including Somewhere Between Earth and Heaven, and 20-Sai Festival in Japan. Erika moved to the USA to study film scoring at Berklee College of Music. While she was still in college, she received the Michael Kamen Award for her film scoring works. After graduation, she moved to New York. Since then, Erika has been actively working as a composer, orchestrator, pianist, and musical director for various musical theater and film productions in the USA, Europe, and Asia. Her credit includes DiMaggio by Robert Mitchell, HONOR by Pete Mills, Hell's Kitchen by Jon Montgomery and Toby Kasavan, Sweeney Todd by Stephen Sondheim, Café-in by Hyeyoung Kim, A Conscience Will Kill You by Salvatore Lumetta. Her work was nominated for the New York Innovative Theater Award, and won the Best of the Rest Award at the Tropfest Short Film Festival in New York. Erika moved to Amsterdam to learn European film scoring at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and obtained a Master's Degree in Music. She collaborated with local Dutch filmmakers on several documentary and fiction films, including De Rode Loper by Martijn Heijne, and Onze Vaders by Liseth Medema. In the summer and fall of 2011, Erika joined Peace Boat's 74th global voyage as a communication coordinator. There she served as a Japanese-English translator/interpreter, composer, arranger, music director, and pianist for various peace events on board. Currently she is moving between Europe, the USA, and Asia, to work on interesting music projects. Her journey continues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 伊藤絵里歌 (イトウエリカ) は、作曲家、編曲家、オーケストレーター、ピアニスト、そして音楽監督。東京生まれ、東京育ち。浅草中学校、都立青山高校で青春時代を過ごす。大学から単身で渡米、ボストンのバークリー音楽院で映画音楽作曲を学ぶ。在学中にマイケル・ケイメン映画作曲賞受賞。スマ・クム・ラウデ最優秀賞を得て首席で同校を卒業する。ニューヨークへ移り、オフ・ブロードウェイのミュージカルの音楽監督、編曲家、オーケストレーター、そしてピアニストとして働く。参加したミュージカル作品が、オフ・ブロードウェイの賞IT Awardにノミネートされる。また、作曲した映画が、世界最大の短編映画祭トロップフェストにて、the Best of the Rest Awardを受賞する。アメリカだけではなく、韓国やタイなどアジア諸国のミュージカルや映画の作編曲も手がけるようになる。そんな中、ヨーロッパの映画音楽を研究するために、オランダへ移住。地元のオランダ短編映画の音楽の作曲や、合唱団のための編曲をする。アムステルダム音楽院で映画作曲の修士号を取得。平和活動に興味を持つようになり、ピースボートの第74回地球一周船旅にCC(通訳スタッフ)として参加。１０６日間かけてぐるりと世界を回る。船内や寄港地では通訳や翻訳に加えて、作編曲家やピアニストとしても活動。旅の後はついに母国の日本に帰国。現在は日本とヨーロッパとアメリカを行き来しながら、作編曲や演奏等の音楽活動をしている。
