SADAHARU

Sadaharu Yagi is an audio engineer working in Los Angeles area. His love for music and all things audio began at age 11, when he joined Yamaha Music School to learn how to play the drums in Fukuoka, Japan. After playing with several bands as a drummer, he decided to study Audio Engineering at Kyushu University (Kyushu Institute of Design), one of Japan’s top schools for acoustics. Sadaharu’s audio experience is varied; he has worked as a live sound technician and recording engineer for Japanese Indie music labels as well as doing recording and editing for SKY Perfect TV, a Japanese satellite TV company.
In 2005, Sadaharu followed his passion to the West and moved to Los Angeles, where he has worked with internationally recognized musicians and engineered / assisted Grammy-winning producers such as Thom Russo and Dusty Wakeman. Sadaharu worked for Wakeman at Mad Dog Studios as a recording engineer and assistant engineer, and has been involved with not only music projects but also projects for movies such as Sex in the City, and Hamlet2. He also worked on various recording sessions for many entertainment companies including Walt Disney, MTV, VH-1, Sony, Warner, etc.
In between projects, Sadaharu works with his own clients in studios around the Los Angeles area, where he is always seeking new opportunities for audio engineering with ears wide open.
