James Strauss and Hiro Fujikake has been connected over 30 years through Hiro’s music. It’s a miracle and this is a proof that music has no boundary since they used to live in the other side of the earth (Japan & Brazil) ! Through his performances, we could understand how he enjoys music from the bottom of his heart and we could feel his sounds with full of love. He is a Peace Ambassador awarded Artist by Universal Peace Federation in 2019 for his humanitarian work of El Sistema in Venezuela.

I first met James Strauss at a party in Vienna in mid-October 2020 and I must admit I was overly impressed at once! He was introduced to me by our common friend, Vasilis Tsiatsianis, a Greek conductor based in Vienna.
During our conversation I found out that he moved in Vienna just couple weeks before, amid this pandemic, and he was about to make a fresh new start here. I must say that at first I thought that he is either very brave or very crazy. Before the evening would be over, I would be convinced that this man was not only brave, but someone incredibly talented and special. He mentioned that I could find his music n SPOTIFY; so as soon as I arrived home, I started searching for him and his work on the internet.
