Tomo Fujita is a guitarist and educator known for his calm wisdom and clean tone. For over 30 years, he’s shared his love of music with students around the world — from the classrooms of Berklee College of Music to his online community, Guitar Wisdom.

Tomo Fujita moved to the U.S. in 1986 to attend Berklee College of Music on a full scholarship. In 1991 he became the first Japanese winner of the “Boston Guitarist Competition,” and in 1993, he began teaching in the guitar department at Berklee. He has developed a great reputation as a master private teacher, as well as a crowd-pleasing performer who has shared the stage with the likes of Phil Collins, bassist Darryl Jones (Miles Davis, Sting, Rolling Stones), Ronnie Earl, and Mighty Sam McClain, just to name a few. He has also enjoyed a stint in the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning musical RENT.

Tomo has performed with some of the best, including Will Lee, Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie, Steve Jordan, Susan Tedeschi, Phil Collins, John Mayer, James Gadson, Travis Carlton, James Genus, and Darryl Jones. When he is not touring, he likes to sit in with others, like Eric Gales, Josh Smith, Kirk Fletcher, Matt Schofield, and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. Most recently, Tomo had the opportunity to sit in with Juanes in Boston and Cory Wong in Tokyo.
