 Saipan - Hawai’i - Seattle

Sabyu’s music is inspired by the Pacific Islands & Pacific Northwest. He aims to spread love and positivity to everyone tuning in. He is currently based in Olympia, WA.

 Under the whispering palm trees of Saipan, Sabyu first discovered a vibrant world of music on the radio of his Dad’s pickup truck - local Chamoru & American tunes alike. Growing up on O’ahu, Sabyu breathed in island music like Braddah IZ & Bob Marley while his brother would boast exciting new sounds from Red Hot Chili Peppers & Rage Against the Machine.

At 12, he moved to Olympia, WA where the acoustic guitar called to him, becoming the first instrument to express his passion. He dove into new genres like grunge, rock, hip-hop, metal, jazz, rap, country, punk, and everything in between. Since then, singer/songwriter Sabyu has poured himself into writing, producing, teaching, and learning an eclectic array of instruments.

Currently based in Olympia, he is an artist mentor/producer with Totem Star, a non-profit youth record label.

Sabyu creates music to bring all walks of life together in the name of love, spirit, and humanity.
