Founded by Ken Morrison and Dave Thomas in the early 1970s, the company, then known as Ocean Sound, originally started as a North Vancouver-based music recording studio. Musicians such as Art Bergmann, Chilliwack, D.O.A and k.d. lang recorded albums and songs there.[2]
In 1979, Ocean moved to its current location in the Kitsilano community. Sometime after, the company began producing voice over work for animation. By the late 1990s, Ocean claimed to control about 85% of the market for animation voice-over in Vancouver.[3] During this time, Ocean was one of the largest production houses working on English-language versions of Japanese anime series.[4] Among others, the company's clients included Bandai Entertainment, Central Park Media, Geneon Entertainment and Viz Media.
Ocean now works on animation and live action media from around the world.
