Eiko Hiraiwa was born on 17 February 1971 in Hiroshima, and started studying eurhythmics and piano as a young child. She graduated from Hiroshima Music High School and the Kunitachi College of Music, where she continued her eurhythmics studies. Following an audition where a demo tape of hers reached the attention of Japan's record industry, she joined Epic Records Japan and made her major label debut with the single "Watashi ga Watashi de aru Toki" (私が私である時), released on 21 July 1995; she also released her debut album Deep Breath with that same label the same day.
