We’re proud to welcome Kenji Alexander Koch to the 380sound family as our Global Ambassador.
A German-Japanese guitarist, songwriter, and producer, Kenji brings a truly international creative perspective to the 380sound family. He is known for his work with ARKTIS, as well as his side project PVLSE., and has experience writing and recording across a wide range of genres, from metal and rap to lo-fi and R&B.
What makes this partnership especially meaningful is that it grew naturally over time.
Kenji’s relationship with 380sound began through his genuine love for our Eco Picks. From early testing and feedback to daily use in his creative work, he has been part of the journey from the beginning. For Kenji, this has never been just about gear. It is also about values — especially the importance of sustainability in the music industry.
As Kenji shared:
I’m incredibly honored to be the first endorser of @380sound Eco Picks.
I’ve been using them for over 2 years now — from early testing and feedback to being part of their journey from the start. For me, it’s more than just gear. Sustainability matters — also in our music industry ♡
100% recycled material, made in Japan quality, and a product I genuinely use every day ♻️🇯🇵🎸
That spirit reflects exactly what 380sound stands for: thoughtful design, reliable performance, and a commitment to creating music gear with a smaller environmental footprint.
Among the models he uses, one of Kenji’s favorites is the ECO PICK TEARDROP 0.8mm.
This model has earned strong praise from guitarists for its versatility and feel. It is especially well suited for chord-rich backing and for players who frequently use strong, straight power chords. Its distinctive flex also makes it a great choice for solo performances, offering responsiveness without compromise. For players who want a pick that feels balanced, expressive, and dependable, the TEARDROP 0.8mm is a standout.
Kenji’s connection to Eco Picks is a perfect example of how meaningful artist relationships should begin: through real use, real trust, and real alignment. His artistry, versatility, and genuine support of sustainable gear make him a natural fit as 380sound’s Global Ambassador.
We’re honored to begin this next chapter together and excited for what’s ahead.
Welcome to the family, Kenji.
