Biography

Sonicwonder is the project spearheaded by Japanese pianist Hiromi Uehara since her 2023 album of the same name. Born in Hamanatsu on March 28, 1979, the musician learned to play the piano at the age of six and studied at the Yamaha School of Music, before continuing her studies at Boston's Berklee College. Already noticed by Chick Corea during a concert in Czechoslovakia, she met Ahmad Jamal and recorded her debut album Another Mind for Telarc in 2003. Other recordings follow in various configurations, including Hiromi's Sonicbloom (2007-2008), then The Trio Project (2011-2016) and The Piano Quintet (2021). In 2023, she launched a new concept with Sonicwonder, also named Hiromi's Sonicwonder, accompanied by Adam O'Farrill (trumpet, effects), Hadrien Féraud (bass), Gene Coye (drums). After a first album of the same name borrowing from jazz fusion and jazz-funk with electronic touches, the following Out There (2025) broadens the palette with a thirty-minute suite developed in four parts, between a version of "Pendulum" sung by Michelle Willis and another on solo piano.
