Ninomiya Chihiro

“My name is Ninomiya Chihiro. I’m 27 years old. I teach and play the steelpan in Japan. I started playing the piano at the age of three. While studying percussion at university of music in Japan I was introduced to the steelpan. I am involved with the steelpan daily. Currently, I am teaching steelpan at  music shops, the Pan Village steelpan school and a large steelpan class.” -- Ninomiya Chihiro

It was love at first sight or fate as she calls it. She is a player for Panland Steel Orchestra in Japan and World Champion Phase II Pan Groove of Trinidad and Tobago. In an exclusive interview with When Steel Talks, Chihiro Ninomiya of Japan, shares how the steelpan instrument has impacted her life and her love for Phase II Pan Groove.
