#DirectorSpotlight: Toshiki Yashiro

@toshki was born in Tokyo and immigrated to the United States at an early age, growing up and attending school in Boston, Massachusetts. He remained there through university, where he studied art and cinema.

After graduating, he lived and worked in various places—including Europe, Texas, and New York—where he explored a range of creative disciplines. These experiences ultimately led him back to his passion for filmmaking.

Since 2020, Toshiki has been based in Tokyo, Japan, working as a film director and writer. His work spans commercials, branded content, music videos, and short films. He is currently focused on developing longer-form projects while also finding time to create fun, short-form vignettes whenever inspiration strikes.

Two years ago today, we dropped the music video for “Oil Leak [Disrespect]”! This song means a lot to me because it was the first song that features my own production and we filmed the music video with family & friends in Tokyo, directed by @toshki 🎬

I started this beat by beatboxing and brought in @kaylikimura to play some bass & keys. At the time, I was super annoyed and frustrated with the state of the music industry and channeled that into the vocal production of the song.

Editing together a behind the scenes video of my process, stay tuned for that soon! 🎥
