Saiah-Logo designed by J. E. Seay
Influences: I was influenced by a lot of entertainers that are in and outside of the hip hop genre. Some of the MCs that I admired growing up were Common, 2pac, Nas, Talib Kwaeli, Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, and Biggie. There's a lot more but not enough time to name them all here. A lot of my musical influence came from gospel music, Soul and old school R&B surprisingly. I listen to everything from Kirk Franklin to Arethra Franklin and I love Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder. I try to bring some of the same elements that they brought to music, as far as originality, as I can. I'm very eclectic so I also could name some rock stars that affect how I make music today. I listened to Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Aerosmith, and even a little Nirvana from time to time and that has helped me expand my musical horizons.
Sounds Like: I have an original sound but a lot of people compare me to Common or Nas. Some people even say I sound like Eminem. I guess that all is in who's listening really, but I think I just sound like Saiah. Take a listen to some of my tracks on this page and you decide. While you're at it, you can check out the new hit single entitled "Nobody" (rmx) on RadioMayhem.net., the hot new internet radio station, every Monday night @ 8:00pm. Be on tbe look out for the album ("So Much to Say") soon.
