Starting my career in Hollywood, I've worked with artists like Dennis Chambers, Derek Sherinian, and Kari Band, delivering story-driven sound that uncovers each song's unique identity, enhancing its emotional depth and sonic detail.
I’m Motoki Mike Sagawa—a sound engineer, producer, and guitarist with roots in the Hollywood studio scene. I work across jazz, fusion, rock, and progressive genres, providing mixing, recording, mastering, live sound, and full production support.
My approach is deeply musical and story-aware. I focus on each track’s emotional arc, lyrics, and atmosphere to highlight what makes it unique. From strategic mic placement to expressive automation and subtle sonic textures, I shape every detail to serve the music—not just the mix.
Beyond the studio, I’ve supported artist development, managed tours, and led satellite production teams—bringing a broad perspective that helps artists realize their full creative potential. Whether you’re launching your first project or refining your tenth, I offer a blend of technical precision, musical insight, and collaborative care to elevate your sound.
