WHAT’S WITH THE NAME?

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that embodies your ‘reason for being’.

It sits at right at the crossover of four key elements: what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can earn a living from.

Waking up every day with a purpose that fuels your heart and mind;

That’s ikigai.

It’s a concept that sits right at the heart of what we do, so we decided to name ourselves after it and spread the word.

CRAFTING MUSIC + SOUND WITH PEOPLE WE LOVE IS OUR IKIGAI
