Sometimes a person has to follow their own path...This is Takeo Yamashiro's story.
Takeo was born in Hiroshima, Japan and was the first professional musician with traditional musical training to enter Canada. He was a judge for the 1994 & 1995 Juno awards, has 2 solo albums and created more than 10 film scores! Takeo's community work earned him a Minister of Foreign Affairs Award in 2003. Since his retirement in 2004, he practices his shakuhachi everyday!
