what we do
-
The Vision
Creative Direction & A&R
We start with who you are: your sound, your identity, your story. Then shape it into a cohesive vision across every release. From creative direction to release planning, we bring both the ear and the strategy to help artists build something that lasts.
-
The Sound
Production & Recording
With credits spanning over 1.5 billion streams, we know what a great take sounds like. But great takes start with trust. We create the room where artists feel safe enough to be honest, then capture what's real.
-
The Infrastructure
Artist Tools
We build custom AI tools around your workflow, from the creative process to the business side. Deal simulators, songwriting tools, catalog management. Built from real experience, so artists can spend less time on operations and more time making the work.
-
The Bridge
Cultural & Market Strategy
What happens in the studio should translate everywhere. We close the gap between creation and market, and with bilingual expertise across the US and Japanese music industries, we help artists expand globally without losing what makes them original.
About
Sono Hikari is an NYC-based creative studio founded at the intersection of music, technology, and cross-cultural strategy.
We believe artists deserve infrastructure as unique as their vision - tools that adapt to their workflow, not the other way around. With bilingual expertise bridging Japanese and US/UK markets, we're building the next generation of artist services for those ready to move beyond generic solutions.
