Bringing Musical Vision To Life

CitySeas Sound came to be as a product of the CitySeas music project, which is a solo project music of mine. I have been a musician, singer, and songwriter in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 20 years now. Also, I have worked in the live sound and audio/visual engineering space, professionally and in other capacities. Alongside the musical and audio/visual world, I have worked in the area of graphic design, video production, and web design.

With all this experience, I finally decided to write, produce, and record my own album myself in 2016. After completing and releasing my first album “Tales & Times” in 2017, l came to realize how much I enjoyed the studio production process. After producing, recording, and releasing a second solo album in early 2018, an opportunity came up to be able to produce, record, mix, and master a Christmas album for another artist named Yui & Yours, which was released later in 2018. Since then, I’ve had opportunities to produce, record, mix, and master music for other artist in different genres, alongside working on my own CitySeas music.

The motto “Bringing Musical Vision To Life” stems greatly from working in production and background roles as an audio/visual engineer, musician, and singer for most of my artistic life. Much of my working career has centered around bringing someone else’s vision or dream to reality and I have come to realize this is the way I have been wired and love to work. I believe CitySeas Sound is just another extension of that passion and realization to bring music into this world.
