Watashi Wa is a Christian pop rock band from San Luis Obispo, California on Tooth & Nail Records. “Watashi wa” (私は) in Japanese roughly means “I am”.

The band formed in 1999 when most of the members were still in their teens. They were first signed to indie label Bettie Rocket and released two albums before signing to Tooth & Nail in 2002.

The band broke up in July 2004, but in a deal with Tooth & Nail Records singer/guitarist Seth Roberts’ new band Eager Seas, were signed to the same label and released their first album under the name Watashi Wa. They subsequently left the label.

The band then changed names to Eager Seas (formerly Lakes) and were signed with The Militia Group who produced the Photographs EP.

Seth Roberts revived the Watashi Wa moniker with an album called People Like People which was written in 2020. People Like People is produced by Seth Roberts and co-produced by Tyler Tedeschi.
