Tomoki Sanders

Tomoki Sanders (they/them) is a saxophonist, composer, and producer redefining the lineage of spiritual jazz for a new generation. Blending cosmic improvisation with hip-hop production and electronic textures, Sanders bridges ancestral depth with futuristic sound design.

A dynamic bandleader and collaborator, they move fluidly between improvisation and beat-driven atmospheres, crafting performances that feel both ceremonial and radically modern.

Sanders has collaborated and shared stages with artists including Pharoah Sanders, Kassa Overall, Moses Sumney, Ravi Coltrane, Nicholas Payton, Maurice Mobetta Brown, Ray Angry, Shun Ishiwaka, Ralph Peterson Jr., Shing02, Isaiah Collier, Trap Music Orchestra, among others — building a sound world rooted in lineage yet unapologetically forward-thinking.
