Hot News!
Sakai Nominated for 2 Los Angeles Black Music Awards!!!
-From the Producer of Sakai's "Dream Big":
When you work on an album for an exceptional artist you can only hope to due them justice by creating an environment for them to truly showcase their talents. Which is why the following news is so important. I have the pleasure to announce that Sakai had been nominated for a Los Angeles Black Music Award, in 2 categories!
1) Best Live Neo Soul Performance
2) Best Recorded Neo Soul Performance
What is special for Sakai, is not only being recognized for studio work, but to be recognized as a serious live performer, and I repeat, if you have only heard Sakai on CD, you are only getting half the picture! Sakai takes great pride in her live performance and being recognized as an exceptional performer is very rewarding for her. Visit www.lablackmusicawards.com for event information, or contact us for discount ticket information.
On behalf of Sakai, Sakai Productions, Family Tree Productions and her manager Michael Aczon we would like to congratulate all the musicians (both live and studio), songwriters and producers that have contributed to the sound and success of "Dream Big".........and this is only the beginning of our dream!!
Darkside
**********************************************
-A Note from Management:
I want to echo the sentiments of Darkside in thanking all of Sakai's army - you special foot soldiers consisting of family, fans, and fellow artists who have provided the energy that keeps us on course. Thanking everyone by name at one time would be very difficult to do, so we want you to keep coming back to Sakai's website as we regularly reach out to try to acknowledge all of you. I won't say much now except that only rarely does the opportunity to work with such extraordinary people and spirits as Sakai and Darkside. Please keep the energy coming and please spread the word to those you know about Sakai.
Congratulations to Sakai and to all who have contributed to the recognition that she has received so far. Hang onto your seats, we promise that there's more to come.
- Michael A.

BIO INFORMATION
You've heard her before, you just didn't know......
Great singers surround themselves with great singers, and Sakai is no exception. Though her name might not sound familiar, her 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. Though not one to be confined by "labels", Sakai had chosen to explore her soul, urban and inspirational ballad roots on her independently released sophomore album entitled "Dream Big." The album expresses life, love and pain from a soul who has been touched by others and is now giving back through her gift of song.
As expressed through her fist single "I Like," love is a universal theme. The infectious mid tempo groove has the touch of Dwayne Wiggins of Tony!, Toni!, Ton! on guitar, is supported by a multi format maxi single with club mixes by DJ Pause, DJ David Harness and the Disciples and has a broadcast ready music video produced by the Xzault Media Group. (The "I Like" Maxi-Single WITH remixes & music video is also available on CD Baby!)
This Sakai's second full length album again, produced by Family Tree Productions takes you on a 17 song journey of life, happiness, disappointments and faith. Sakai's vocal performance is phenomenal as she sings over songs co-written by Narada Michael Walden, Larry Batiste & Andre Pessis, Paizley and Darkside. Sakai and her 7 piece live band are prepared to share their gifts. Sakai promises to stay true to her message...
Touching hearts and lives through music.
