"Singing background with 'The Blossoms' drew the attention of record producer from Capitol Records" Where she went on to release major label albums and much more. She has also done backing vocalists for many greats including James Brown and Stevie Wonder to even Cher. |

Sakai released her sophomore album Dream Big, a few years before that she was doing backing vocals for many established and/or independent artists. Sakai says, "As a session vocalist I have had the priviladge of working on quite a few projects. Most recently I sang background vocals on Carlos Sanatana's new CD" So, there you have it, Sakai is being called upon by the biggest names, yet her career is very independent. |
