SENDAI ERA

We are a Seattle-based music duo of emcee Era and producer Sendai Mike. We write and create videos and songs inspired by the stories of people in our community here in the PNW. We recently released our latest project “Kalayaan.” This album carries the lessons and experiences over the past few years, forming a myriad of songs that signify a new beginning for us. “Kalayaan” is the Tagalog word for “Liberation” — a feeling we tried to capture throughout the album.

We started making music at the University of Washington in 2013. Since then, we have worked to organize projects and release shows throughout Seattle. We've been independently booking our own shows and performing throughout the PNW and along the West Coast. Our main motivation is to find new and creative ways to create art that reflects and serves the communities we serve.
