Co-Presented by The Japan Foundation – Celebrating 50 Years of Australia-Japan friendship.

Masayuki Hirano, better known as BIGYUKI – is a ground-breaking songwriter and virtuoso keyboard player who blends jazz, soul, hip-hop and electronica to create a sound that’s wholly his own – often energetic and electrifying, always at the cutting edge and packed with groove.

Alongside releasing his own inimitable music, BIGYUKI is highly sought-after as a performer and collaborator by the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Kamasi Washington and Lauryn Hill, Meshell Ndegeocello, Robert Glasper and Snarky Puppy.

Join BIGYUKI (keys), Randy Runyon (guitar), and Jharis Yokley (drums) for a night to remember at the Liberty Theatre, Perth for Perth Jazz Festival.
