In 2010, after only 2 years in Dubai, Haruka was chosen by Gulf News' Friday Magazine as the only musician to be featured in an interview article about success stories in the country. Growing up in Japan, she took up the violin at age 4 and the piano at age 5. Her constant desire to expand as a musician pushed her attend the Kunitachi Highschool of Music and eventually to travel to the US, where she studied under Juilliard School professor Masao Kawasaki and a first violinist of the New Jersey Philharmonic, Joeseph Gluck, while taking piano lessons from Beatrice Long, a concert pianist and Dr. Adam Kent at Manhattan School of Music Precollege during the last two years of high school. She then attended the prestigious New England Conservatory in Boston to study classical violin under the tutelage of the late, world-renowned Michèle Auclair.

During her studies there, she started feasting on jazz staples such as Chet Baker, Steve Lacy, Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett. The way in which they were able to express themselves through their mastery of the art of improvisation inspired Haruka to pursue a Masters degree in Jazz Studies. Her teachers included world-renowned Charlie Banacos, John McNeil and Alan Chase. Integrating the richness of both musical worlds at the highest level, Haruka started composing as well and studied composition under Michael Gandolfi and Frank Carlberg.

Upon graduating, she moved to New York, where her unique sound and lyrical playing style made an instant impact. She was soon performing classical, jazz and a blend of styles from her own compositions at art galleries and venues including Merkin Hall, the United Nations Headquaters and Carnegie Hall. She has had the opportunity to share the stage with some of the greats, including Butch Morris, Bob Moses, Joe Morris and Neil Leonard, and to play in master classes with Wayne Krantz, Dave Douglas, Uri Caine and Dr. Lonnie Smith. She has also attended prestigious music festivals such as Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music, Henry Mancini Institute and Aspen Music Festival on scholarships.

Today, Haruka is based in Dubai where she crosses genres including classical to jazz and Arabic music to Argentinean tango, and sees diversity as a vital part of her constant artistic development. Since her arrival in 2008, she has performed at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival, Sheik Zayed Book Award, the Zayed Future Energy Prize, Formula 1 Abu Dhabi, Dubai World Cup, Arabian Travel Market, the Meydan Hotel Opening in Nad al Sheba, Disney Rotana Channel Launch and has been featured on Dubai One TV's "Studio One" "Twenty-something" and on MBC Network's "Sabah Al Khair Ya Arabiya" show on numerous occasions.
