Kosuke Matsuda has been pursuing artistic ambitions as a music performer, artistic director, and producer. Matsuda is originally from Nagasaki, Japan, where he began his music career as a percussionist. The natural soundscape and landscape in Nagasaki, such as wind patterns on a mountain, waterfalls, and cricket sounds from fields, influenced his humanity, culture, and musicality.
Having received several awards from music competitions in the 2010s, Matsuda moved to Tokyo to earn his bachelor’s degree in music. Matsuda started his acting and producing career in Tokyo, where he first performed as an actor in Suntory Hall in Tokyo in 2014. Furthermore, Matsuda started his career as a music producer. He founded Casa-Felice, a music performance group, to provide music entertainment in retirement homes, hospices, and hospitals in the Tokyo area.
In 2015, he moved his base to Aichi prefecture in central Japan to earn his first master’s degree at Aichi University of the Fine Arts in Music Performance, where he studied with Kunihiko Komori. He graduated from Aichi University as the Valedictorian in the wind/percussion instrument performance area in 2017.
Matsuda moved to the United States in 2018 to study with Svet Stoyanov and Mattew Strauss at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami, where he earned his second master’s degree and Artist Diploma in Music Performance.
Matsuda lives in San Diego as a doctoral student at the University of California, San Diego. He has collaborated and performed with renowned artists and groups such as Steven Schick, Roger Reynolds, Rand Steiger, Svet Stoyanov, Kunihiko Komori, Aiyun Huang, Palimpsest Ensemble, Lancaster Symphonic Orchestra, La Jolla Symphony Orchestra, and New World Symphony Orchestra.
