Imagine a soundtrack of Elvis Costello...
Chapter I: The Tokyo Years
~A quest for authenticity~
My decade as a singer-songwriter and radio DJ in Japan. This chapter was written in recording studios and concert halls, where I worked to bridge the culture gap using my voice and tried to figure out who I really was.
​
Chapter II: Under the Sun
~The business of communication~
In Los Angeles, my story shifted from being the voice to building the platform. As the founder of Carasmatic Productions, I navigate the complexities of multilingual media to help global clients communicate their message in over 200 languages.
Chapter III: On the Page
~Everyday I write the book~
A return to the source: the written word. With a lifetime of storytelling behind me, the early draft of my next chapter is as an author. "A word after a word after a word is power."*
