Today's ideal artist is somewhat of a Renaissance person — one who can sing, write, produce and engineer. Sadiki fits the bill.
In 2001 he scored a big hit with “Gal Dem Everytime” on the Buyout riddim for reggae producer Tony ‘CD’ Kelly.
As well as being Sadiki’s singing and songwriting debut, the album, “Morning’s Come”, is Sadiki’s producing and engineering debut, as he produced or co-produced each and every track. “Morning’s Come” also features production from top veteran producer Lloyd Campbell (Glen Washington, Freddie McGregor, Marcia Griffiths, Tarrus Riley), England’s top reggae producer Chris Peckings (Bitty McLean), Delly Ranks (Sean Paul, Mavado) plus Arif Cooper (Jah Cure, Tammy Chin). In March of 2007, he did a 4-city tour of Japan. After this successful tour, he was offered a licensing deal in Japan. The album was released in Japan in November of 2007 (Skinny Bwoy/P-Vine Records). Within weeks of its’ release “Morning’s Come” hit the 1 spot for reggae releases at HMV record stores throughout Japan, and has charted within the top 5 for sales in Tower Record stores. There are plans for another tour of Japan in 2008. Through his travels Sadiki has shared the stage with Buju Banton, Gyptian, Bascom X, Shaggy, Wayne Wonder, Maxi Priest, Marcia Griffiths, K-Ci & Jo Jo, Beenie Man, Gerald Levert, Kelly Price among others.
Sadiki is managed and booked exclusively by Skinny Bwoy. For more info, please call (708) 439-4792.
