Hayato Sumino

Following Pallavi Mahidhara, Alexandra Dovgan, Kate Liu, and Yunchan Lim, Hayato Sumino also sets a brilliant example: With his award, he joins the honor roll of the prestigious Olivier Berggruen Prize. Under his artist name "Cateen," he captivates millions with creative social media content – and has long since become a phenomenon in the international music scene. Above all, however, he is one thing: a fascinating musician!
