"From my childhood to present, whenever I hear the sound of a violin, my soul flies to the heaven".

Violin is part of my life! However, I cannot live a life without violin as its beautiful sound has already resided in my heart and its amazing soul been circulating in my blood. My passion for violin playing might be compared to one’s addiction to drug. To me, playing violin is like being with my angel.

About me

My stage name is Sky. My real name is Yukimine Ishino. I was born in China. I studied violin when I was 7 years old. My father was my first and last violin’s teacher. For my family had no incentive to spend that money on me for a private violin teacher. Since my father (a hospital president) had introduced me into the violin-playing world, I have always been relying on my own efforts and also on the inspiration from God to teach myself on violin playing.

My first job was dancer:   At the age of fourteen, I was admitted by Jilin Art Collage of China. I had applied to study violin with a conservatory of music. In the end, it was my small and short left little finger that had sealed the fate of this application. So was my dream of being a violinist dashed!

But a strange combination of circumstances admitted by Dance Department. Carries Musician dreams but become dancer and graduated by No, 1 of collage even took part in the directing and performing work of the programs of China Central TV. Finally become a member of China Dancer’s Association.

My second job was hairdresser:    I graduated from Shiseido Beauty Academy of Japan and New York International Beauty School of Manhattan of U.S.A. and holding four licenses of hairdresser from Japan, China, U.S.A, and Australia.

Violin is just my hobby, but it is my favorite. There are many people loved my music after I came to Australia. At the encouragement of my audiences, I started my third career-musician. I appreciate my lovely audience to help me to give me many beautiful music in my all 8 CDs. My tenet is let my music close to the people as possible as well.

My principle is making the tangible benefits but give the people most of enjoyment. Some audience say, “You are the mobile Opera House”. I am not worthy of such compliments but I am happy to hear that as my power to progress always. I know my good point that I use the perspective, experience and feeling of the dancer to understand and express music, so that my inner world cannot be copied by any of violinists.

 I hope that more people listen to my music and happy with my music!
