Though her name might not sound familiar,
Sakai's voice has probably already touched you. From being the first voice you hear on Celine Dion's “A New Day”,
to vocals on records with Oleta Adams, Curtis Mayfield and Tower of Power to live performances with Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan, Sakai is called on by the best. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Sakai has traveled the world sharing
her gift of song and beauty. Her sophomore album expresses life, love and pain from a soul who has been touched by others and is now giving back through her music. Known for her powerful voice and soaring ballads,”Dream Big” does not disappoint with the inspirational “Leap of Faith” and the ever optimistic title track “Dream Big.” This album also dances with urban uptempo jams and infectious mid tempo grooves, including “I Like” which is graced by the touch of D'wayne Wiggins of Tony!, Toni!,Tone..! on guitar.
....and the reviews are coming in...
*"Reminiscent of the tone set by such soulful chanteuses as Phyllis Hyman
and Angela Bofill... " Billboard Magazine
*" This girl is slammin! All I can say is check her out" XM Radio - Suite 62.
* “As a recording artist and as a live performer, Sakai is a vocalist of
the first order. She's the latest in a long line of great Bay Area soul women...” -SF Bay Guardian
Sakai is not just a studio artist. Complete with a 8 piece live band Sakai and Family Tree Productions is preparing to support the Valentine's Day '07 national release of Dream Big release with tour dates, in-stores and club dates. From opening for Goapele to opening for Frankie Beverly and Maze, to singing the National Anthem for the San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, and the Oakland A's, to headlining SOLD-OUT shows at the prestigious Yoshi's, and with a LIVE album in the works, it is no wonder why Sakai was nominated for “BEST Neo-Soul LIVE performance!”
Dream Big is a MUST for any Soul/R&B collection, “...Worthy of pressing
the repeat button more than once.” -Billboard Magazine You may not have heard of Sakai before, but that is about to change.
I'll be perfroming at Yoshi's San Francisco September 17th, 8pm Click Photo for Concert information:
