10 MINUTES WITH SAIAH

Music industry update | New York, USA | Indie artist, Saiah

He's a singer, songwriter, actor and an allround entertainer who specializes in putting smiles on faces, and Brooklyn's Saiah is always finding new and exciting ways to connect with new and existing fans. He has appeared on popular television programs like "New Amsterdam" and "True Crime With Aphrodite Jones", popular US commercials like "Nationwide" and "Papa John's", films like "Meet Mario" and "Final Cut", and been involved in so many independent films and web series it's almost impossible to count. Saiah made his debut as a pop artist back in 2012 when he released the critically acclaimed single, "VIP", a song that still receives rave reviews today, not just for its outstanding production and performance but also for the fact that it's just one of many feel-good rap song this decade that is clean and fun for all ages - if you are a fan or you've spent years complaining about it then you'll probably be aware that that is a huge thing in hip hop today when artists are even managing to shock die-hard, experienced hip hop fans who have heard and seen it all with some of the outrageous things they are saying on the radio. His musical style has been compared to that of Will Smith - it's fun, it's family-friendly and it won't leave you in a state of panic shoving tissues in your kids' ears if it sudden plays on the radio while you are out running errands. He has since become one of the hardest working emerging New York actors and is being looked upon as Brooklyn's next big movie star. This week his new web series, "10 minutes With Saiah" celebrated it's 12th episode. The series streams live on Instagram every week and then is subsequently available to re-run on YouTube shortly after.
