I’m Ishmael Ali Muhammad, a songwriter, lyricist, producer, and music specialist with more than two decades of experience creating original music. As the founder of Chi-Tune Studios LLC, I have written, composed, produced, mixed, and mastered a catalog of more than 100 songs across Hip-Hop, R&B, and Pop, including four completed albums currently streaming globally.
Writing music and arrangement structures just comes completely naturally to me as soon as I hear an instrument playing in my head or out loud. I truly enjoy shaping strong lyrical concepts, memorable song structures, vocal arrangements, and polished recordings. Right now, I am operating out of Japan, actively expanding my language fluency in Japanese, and looking for the right private institutional investors or family offices to help back the global rollout of my brand-new 23-song flagship album, DOMINO. It has been a little tough finding the right investors lately, but I have strong faith that the right door is about to open. I hope you enjoy checking out my catalog!
