Under the whispering palm trees of Saipan, Sabyu (SAH-byoo) 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 11, he moved to Olympia, WA where the acoustic guitar called to him, becoming the first instrument to express his passion. Since then, singer/songwriter Sabyu has poured himself into writing, producing, teaching, and learning an eclectic array of instruments.

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

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