Voice-First Music Making
My approach
I work directly with artists as a singer, composer, and producer. We start with the voice — performance, language, intention — and build everything around that. Sessions can be in English, German, or Russian (with support for Italian diction and Japanese pronunciation).

Focus
The goal is a take that feels real: tone, timing, diction, and emotion. I guide you in the moment so we shape the performance while recording — not only later in editing. Once the voice lands, we make production and mix decisions that serve it.

Principles
Keep it clear, keep it musical — no overcomplicated process. Direction is practical, supportive, and performance-first, whether you’re a beginner or experienced. You leave with clean takes and a path to a release-ready result.

WHO I AM
I’m Vasi — I make music from the voice outward. I’m an artist, singer, and producer based in Tokyo, and I work 1:1 with artists on vocals, songwriting, production, and mixing.
I came up through serious training (piano, ensembles, conservatory voice), then built my own production practice around performance-first work: we get the take right, we shape the meaning, and only then we polish. If you want a session that feels musical — not clinical — you’ll feel at home here.
Quick facts: English / German / Russian (native-level) • Italian diction • Japanese learner (N4) • Studio + remote.
