Tomoko is a singer songwriter originally from Japan by way of NY for 14 years and currently reside in Las Vegas, living in the US for 23 years now.
She is also the host of the podcast “Songwriters Room” on YouTube, and the creator & educator of the popular TikTok series “JapaNEWS”.
She has performed at Blue Note NY, ready to release her album “No Geisha” later this year and finishing her first book “My JapaNEWS”.
She once gave up singing due to her traumatic childhood experiences but worked it through it and eventually learned how to love herself.
Tomoko is Leo, born in the year of Tiger, a fearless loner, doing what she loves to do as a creator against all odds.
- In this episode, Tomoko talks about her childhood which was traumatic, and how she was finally able to connect with her inner essence and start doing what she love, "singing"
- The passing of her grandfather, mother and father
- How she moved from Osaka to Tokyo, then Japan to New York and then New York to Las Vegas and what happened during each move.
- The satanic reality of the music world and her experience
- How reading books and learning from others helped her realize that accepting what is and knowing that there's always a reason to lead her to grace helps her to cope one day at a time.
- Her ultimate goal is to inspire others with her energy, actions and words through her music, videos, books or whatever forms, one person at a time.
What she does to stay focus and grounded are, Letting herself feel bad and go all the way down to the bottom and then up
Emotions take over but they will leave
Ups and downs in a day like in a life like the waves of the ocean
Train her mind, listen to her thoughts,
The reason she is happy, is because she chooses positive thoughts
- She would absolutely love to interview Stevie Wonder on her podcast, "Song Writer's Room" and I am rooting for that special day with her:)
