Hi, Welcome to my web site, I'm happy you decided to stop by.
I just announced a pile of shows for this summer. More are in the works. Please look at Shows for details.
I'm really having a lot of fun singing and working at creating connections between people near and far. Words cannot express how grateful I am for all I have. Each day is a blessing filled with music and love, the journey is getting really exciting and I'm eager for what lies ahead.
Doug Koyama on North by Northwest
I am grateful to have been featured in an interview with Sheryl MacKay of CBC Radio's North by Northwest in February. It was a real pleasure to meet Sheryl, we had a nice talk.

"When Doug Koyama enters a room you know it! His boundless energy, his warmth and enthusiasm are quickly evident. And then his music. Doug weaves sound with his voice and some looping technology. The music is mesmerizing, hypnotic and joyful all at once. He has a passion for singing and getting others to sing along"
Cheryl MacKay, CBC North by Northwest"Building a melody can be as simple as do-re-mi or as complex as multiple layers of sound built from one voice.
Quesnel musician Doug Koyama showcases his unique talent during Tuesday's Coldsnap Music Festival local line-up at Art Space, 1685 Third Avenue."

"One woman in the audience Saturday said she "visited" a beautiful Caribbean island. For me, the music took me back to the Punjab, India when, on my first morning, I awoke at 5 a.m. to the sounds of chanting in the courtyard. Koyama's music can be many things. Waves of the ocean lapping on shore or seagulls flying in the air above. The sound of wind on a mountain top. It has a soaring sensation and you wonder what heights it will reach before it ends. You hope it never does."
Teresa Mallam, Community Editor, Prince George Free Press
"Doug has a fabulous soulful voice with an amazing range (and I'm using the word "amazing" in an appropriately meaningful context). His show involves the layering of vocal loops creating a rich texture of rhythm and harmony with solid grooves. It's the coolest thing I've heard in a while."
