About me

I’m a California-based A&R, publisher, and founder of KUU WRLD and TSUNAMI, working across music, creative development, and Japan-West collaboration. Over the last ten years, I’ve built and managed creative teams across the US, EU, and Japan, and directed more than 500 digital music releases alongside limited-run physical projects including CD, vinyl, cassette, apparel, and print. I’m currently expanding our publishing activity, developing new cross-border partnerships, and building projects that connect artists, labels, and ideas across markets. Got an idea?

Genesis: The Elucian Story

"The Elucian Story" is the first of the Genesis trilogy; a multimedia project depicting the tale of a future Earth annihilated by a rogue AI creation.
