About Sushi

Life Story

Born and raised in Southern California, I’ve lived in San Juan Capistrano for most of my life. I went to a shitty little private Christian school called CVCS for 13 years (yep, K thru 12) and (unintentionally) got an AA in Computer Science at Saddlecrack College. I lived in Vegas for a few years till 2009, when I moved back down to South OC to go on the road with my friend’s band, Driven A.D..

Driven A.D. tour was an experience. They’ve disbanded, which is unfortunate, because their talent and music were amazing.

Fuck, I miss the gambling and no last call.

Career

I worked at CompUSA for 2.5 years, then moved on to Joint Technologies Ltd, where I worked for another 2.5 years. Now I freelance via sushi3 Industries, my graphic/website design company.

In Las Vegas, I worked for Minxx Gentlemen’s Club (the titty bar with the Pac-Man Jones shooting!), Apple Store, and Adam’s Ribs. I was the Tour Manager / Bus Driver / Merch Manager / Road Accountant / Tech Support Guy / Webmaster / Graphics Guy / Whatever for Driven A.D..

Sushi FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Is “Sushi” your real name? How the hell did you get that name?
A: My parents named me Atsushi. Sushi
is easier to pronounce and remember, plus everybody loves sushi, especially in SoCal and Vegas. I guess people know that if I can call myself Sushi, I must be a totally chill motherfucker. Which is absolutely correct.
Q: You got some pretty big balls going up and singing karaoke.
A: After the first time, it’s easy. You have to sing a good song that you can get into. Sing for either (1) the ladies or (2) for everyone. That way, even if you suck at singing, people will appreciate it. Or (3) fuck everyone and sing for yourself, just be really into it.
It always helps if you’re with a group of drunk-ass friends. So I think my balls are only slightly larger than average. Ok, they’re huge.
Q: So, what all can you sing?
A: I can do a lot of songs badly, and several of them I’m good at. I like singing shit like Def Leppard, Aerosmith, some Motley Crue, Livin’ On A Prayer (anyone?). Lately I’ve been trying to develop my metal voice so I can sing shit like Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Pantera and other good shit. Not a whole lot of metal karaoke songs out there.
Q: Do you sing with a band? You look like the rock star type.
A: Not anymore. I used to be with Sykk Sense, a glam-pop-metal hard rock band featuring Jonni Jade from Sick Six Crush. I played bass, but I’ve been playing guitar off and on (mostly off) since ’90. I’ve since sold all of my guitars and equipment. Now I sing and fucking rock everyone’s world.
Lately, I’ve been into Guitar Hero. Expert mode. All instruments. Yeah.
