Kenji Haba is a guitarist who is exclusively sensitive to timbres in
appreciating and expressing the beauty of guitar. Haba believes that the
guitar is the perfect instrument to express his musical ideas because of its
beautiful tones and its countless timbres. Recently, he has been focusing on
impressionistic music, especially that of Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and
Toru Takemitsu.

In 2006 Haba began studying classical guitar under renowned guitarist, Kevin
R. Gallagher and Oren Fader. With his passion driving his learning ability,
after one year of studying, he was accepted into the Manhattan School of
Music in Master of Music, and there worked with Mark Delpriora.
