B2B Marketing Strategist | Brand Storyteller | Music Technologist
With 8 years of B2B marketing experience, I specialize in crafting compelling brand narratives, driving engagement, and developing data-driven strategies that fuel business growth. My background as a musician, producer, and technologist gives me a unique edge in blending creativity with analytical thinking—translating complex ideas into impactful campaigns.
As a vocalist, guitarist, producer, and music technologist, my work fuses Neo-Soul and experimental electronic music, creating a distinctive, danceable soundscape. Growing up between Tokyo and the American South, homeschooled by musician parents, I developed a multi-cultural perspective that informs both my music and marketing approach. Across my projects—Sisters Fair, Oracle Blue, and Satellite Sea—I’ve released five records, performed at Montreux, Umbria, and Vienne jazz festivals, and shared university stages with artists like Victor Wooten, Jeff Coffin, and Steve Bailey.
Professionally, I’ve opened for Nate Smith, Makaya McCraven, and Lalah Hathaway, secured endorsements from Gator Cases, Traveler Guitar, and Aston Microphones, performed at NAMM, toured Europe, and was featured on DownBeat’s What to Stream This Week. My recent work spans remote recording, neuroscience-driven composition, sound design in generative music technology, and music editing for Fortnite Festival (Epic Games).
Now, I’m bringing this blend of strategy, storytelling, and creative innovation into the marketing space—helping brands craft authentic, resonant messages and engaging experiences. Let’s connect and explore how creativity can drive impact.
