Aska Matsumiya is a celebrated composer, known for film scores such as After Yang, I’m Your Woman, Bruised, Skate Kitchen and Spike Jonze’s, ‘I’m Here’. However, her journey through music, motherhood, mixed cultural identity and friendship, is what has inspired me to get her in the tub at nearly 9 months pregnant, and talk. Raised as a classical pianist in a Japanese household, Aska has been expressing herself musically across a vast landscape of genres: from punk to indie rock, classical, and electronic. Aska became a mother for the first time as a nineteen year old, and embarks on her next motherhood journey within weeks of this episode airing. Finding her voice through film composition, motherhood, and trusting in her intuition, Aska forges her own path into a life well-lived – inspiring us to follow the clues, and do the same.
