Dai Fujikura is a contemporary composer whose work transcends cultural and musical borders. Born in Osaka, Japan in 1977, Fujikura moved to the UK as a teenager to study at the Purcell School for Young Musicians, and later at the Royal College of Music. His global outlook on music is reflected in a diverse and prolific output that ranges from solo pieces to large-scale orchestral works. Fujikura's unique voice in the world of contemporary classical music is characterized by intricate textures, often inspired by nature and science, and a seamless blend of electronic and acoustic sounds.

Fujikura's reputation as a leading figure in new music has been confirmed by commissions from some of the world's foremost institutions, orchestras, and ensembles. His catalog of works includes numerous pieces performed and recorded by high-profile artists and released on prominent labels. Recent compositions such as "Bibi," "The Bow Maker," and "Piano Concerto No. 4 'Akiko's Piano'" display his continued evolution as a composer, exploring new soundscapes and pushing the boundaries of classical music. Fujikura is also noted for his engagement with the music community, often participating in live events, such as "Dai Fujikura: My Letter to the World (Live)," which highlights his dynamic approach to performance and composition.
