11月6日生まれ（さそり座）のAB型、都心から約１時間のベッドタウン在住。4歳の頃から母親の勧めでヴァイオリンを習い始め、10歳を迎える頃には自らピアノを習い始めて絶対音感を身につける。その後、m-floやJazztronik、FreeTEMPOといったフェイバリットアーティストたちの楽曲に影響を受け、クラブミュージックをベースにした音楽制作やライブ活動をスタート。その透明感とキャラクターを併せ持つミラクルヴォイス、そしてこれまでのクラブ系シンガーにない存在感で多くのクリエイターに注目される存在に。
08年6月、半沢武志（FreeTEMPO）プロデュースのミニアルバム「COLORS」でインディーズデビュー。12月にはRAM RIDER、福富幸宏、中塚武、A Hundred Birds、瀧澤賢太郎ら豪華プロデューサー陣を迎えた2ndミニアルバム「TIME&SPACE」はiTune Music Storeのダンスチャート１位を獲得した。
09年7月22日、Sound Around、福富幸宏、Haioka（BREMEN）、石井マサユキ（TICA／gabby & lopez）、note nativeが参加した５曲入りミニアルバム「I Can Fly」でメジャーデビュー。
ヴォーカリストとしても、GEKKAN PROBOWLER、Sound Around、福富幸宏、FreeTEMPO、RYUKYUDISKOらの作品に参加しており、その個性を高く評価されている。
SAWA lives in the suburbs, about one hour from Tokyo. Her mother made the perfect-pitch girl pick up the violin at the tender age of four, and by age 10, she took up the piano out of her own will. Later, influenced by favorite artists such as m-flo, Jazztronik and FreeTEMPO, she began writing and performing music based on club music.
Her transparent yet characteristic, miraculous voice, as well as her fresh and cute presence that had never been seen in other club music singers in the past, she caught the attention of many music creators. In June 18, she made her indie debut with COLORS, a five-track mini album produced by Takeshi Hanzawa (FreeTEMPO). It debuted at 8 on iTunes Music Store’s comprehensive album chart, and stayed in the top 3 for three weeks since release in the dance music chart, already showing signs of a major breakout.

But I can't Until I've asked you to poetry dance With me Two nights Would be too short In this brief life So we dance for life
I'll bring my pen If you'll come with your open Heart smile We'll celebrate things we can depend on Never flowing out of style Like this I surely do Let me know If this is a good rhyme for you"

"'I like to say It's best to be true to you The you that you can be proud of The you that you love And can stand for and speak loud of without hesitation No separation between the inside and out beings
Not being remains to be seen A.K.A., a corpse on display Moving about with dead vibes Sucking up all of the good life around Let your wood bee life Grow tree leaf And feel the relief Of not being your own worst thief Robbing yourself of the best of yourself
I don't care if I clash with a click I'm the clack that they miss
Try repeating that for a couple of rounds Bet you'll find it hard to put it down And yourself witted Can't help but make creative Lost, but Native sounds'
Said King Lots
'Now Chi what you've got And write another round'"
