About

An engineer who plays

I'm Kai. I studied Music Production and Engineering at Berklee, mixed live rooms and private events around Boston, and moved to Los Angeles in 2025.

I've been playing drums for 15 years so I'm a musician first. Engineering is another form of musicianship. Evoking emotion is the goal.
