Born August 19, 1963 in Tokyo, Japan, Monday Michiru was so named by her parents, jazz pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi and jazz saxophonist Charlie Mariano, to reflect both her Japanese and American heritage. Though initially it was the flute that she excelled in, discovered her other instrument, the voice, while attending the Interlochen Arts Academy. In 1987, she was scouted by a young Japanese movie director, Shinji Somai, to appear as a lead in his movie “Hikaru Onna” (“Luminous Woman”) about an opera singer; The film entered the International Tokyo Film Festival in 1987, earning honorable mention for Best Actress, as well as Best New Actress awards from Kinema Junpo, The Japan Academy, and the Yokohama Film Festival. At the urging of her management company in Japan, she continued in her newfound and unexpected acting career which included theatre and television, and expanded into other fields such as hosting her own radio programs (J-Wave, FM Tokyo, etc.), modeling for major commercial ads (Kohdansha, Yubinchokin, NTT, and most recently for Four Roses), and appearing on television as a “personality." It was in 1991 that she finally had the opportunity to reroute her endeavors back to her roots in music and released her debut solo album. By 1993, Monday steadily began recording and releasing albums in Japan and later in Europe, Australia, and South America, both solo and as a featured singer/writer, collaborating with such groups and artists such as DJ Krush, Mondo Grosso, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Basement Jaxx, UA, Masters At Work, Joe Clausell, Lisa Ono and many others. She has also produced and remixed tracks for artists such as Mondo Grosso, Wyolica, Soul Source Productions, Angelica, etc.. While she is best known for being one of the pioneers of the acid jazz movement in Japan in the early 90s and later as one of the few women in Japan's underground club scene, she has undoubtedly crossed over and beyond the scope of club music to a style that is undeniably hers. She is the rare female singer/songwriter who also produces her own works.
