selected by the Yamaha Music Foundation to become one of the
groups recording artists.
Since then, Matsui has signed contracts with MCA Records and
Sin-Drome Records and released over two dozen albums in the
United States and Japan, including her most recent U.S. release,
Soul Quest, which came out in 2013. Keiko Matsui is currently on

performances in Russia at the end of March 2015.
