About Me

The Portland-based artist saQi is a classically trained composer, producer and trumpet player. Drawing his name from the Sufi title for a mystic muse, saQi creates eclectic electronica that maintains a balance between organic and synthetic sound. His live sets rock the dance floor while maintaining a grace and musical depth to engage the listener. For live performance saQi is often accompanied by his wicked multi-instrumentalist sidekick "DangeRuss". Both are composers and horn players for the infamous March Fourth Marching Band!!!
