About

Adam Grab | Bass Maggie Daniec | Keys Glen Turner II | Sax Sean Lee | Guitar Olivia Belda | Vocals Shane Sato | Drums Japanese-American multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter Shane Sato has built a reputation for musical fluency and emotional clarity. Raised in Southern California, his path began early—starting on drums before expanding into guitar, piano, and trombone. This diverse foundation was shaped by years of performing in rock bands, wind ensembles, and jazz groups. Since relocating to Los Angeles in 2017, Shane has become a fixture in the city’s creative ecosystem as a sought-after session musician and collaborator. These years on the road and in the studio sharpened his instincts as an arranger, eventually leading him to a more personal focus: crafting original compositions that blend soulful feel with intentional restraint. As an independent artist, Shane has amassed over 3.5 million streams across his debut album, Until We Meet Again , and a series of collaborative singles like “Airwaves.” His warm, fluid sound has earned significant editorial support, with features on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Jazz , Morning Rhythm , and Jazzy Beats , signaling a rapidly growing audience for his work.
