Sakai

Though her name might not sound familiar, Sakai's voice has probably already touched you. From being the first voice you hear on Dion's "A New Day", to vocals on CDs 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 San Francisco Bay Area, Sakai has traveled the world sharing her gift of song together with her spirit and natural beauty. Her sophomore CD 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. 

Sakai is not just a studio artist. Complete with an 8 piece live band, Sakai and Family Tree Productions are preparing to support this release with national tour dates. From opening for Goapele, Frankie Beverly, and Maze, to singing the National Anthem for the San Francisco 49ers, the San Francisco Giants, and the Oakland A's, to headlining multiple sold out shows at the prestigious Yoshi's, and with a live CD in the works, it is no wonder why Sakai was nominated for "Best Neo-Soul Live Performance".
