ABOUT US

A high school sophomore heard “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole for the first time, and was immediately inspired to seriously study music. That inspiration led this average saxophonist to practice endlessly, and develop the notion of someday becoming a professional musician. He did, and at age 17 turn professional and performed in Waikiki for a few shows, most notably, with Sterling Mossman. 


Shortly thereafter, he left to study in Boston where he earned a music degree at Berklee School of Music. Upon his return, he had the good fortune of working with many well-established musicians and entertainers such as Iva Kinimaka, Kawai Cockett, Danny Kaleikini, Ledward Ka’apana, and Al Harrington. Making music with these notables, especially in the capacity of musical director and producer, led to the significant opportunity of learning how to coach! The foundation of “Sen Music” was started, and has now been going on for more than three decades!

Come by our studios and introduce yourself!

With much aloha - Welcome to Sen Music Studios.
