Ken is a master-of-all-trades and jack of none.
Just kidding. He’s okay at everything. He’s gonna stop speaking in the third-person now.
For 7 years, I lead content strategy at Splice, the music industry’s leading royalty-free sample library, executing marketing campaigns across social platforms. My work at Splice garnered two Webby Award nominations, and grew the company’s following from 25K to 400K on Instagram, YouTube, and more. Prior to that, I handled social media at Pond5, another royalty-free marketplace.
Currently, I am a freelance content strategist and creator for several brands in the music space.
I am also a music producer, artist, DJ, and content creator under the name of Kenneth Takanami. My videos, spanning music creation and production, have garnered over 7 million views {that’s a lot of virality]. As a musician, my work has been platformed by 88Rising, The Needle Drop, Vulture, Spotify’s Fresh Finds and garnered over 500K+ streams. I have also performed at 88Rising’s Head in the Clouds festival and headlined events at Elsewhere, Racket, Baby’s All Right and more.
You could say I know a thing or two about music.
