The Alterside
Saij's sound is the music of Prince and Ben Harper getting funky in a
Martian farm-house. Nuclear Soul.
When he was 16 years old, he heard that Prince wrote a song a day.
From that day forward, he has done the same. While he spent most
of his late teens and early 20's playing guitar and singing in rock and
blues bands, he was going home every night to his little recording
studio (just a 4-track and a microphone at the time) to write songs.
His passion is the studio. His passion is writing.
Saij began work as a freelance Songwriter and Producer in 2004. His
first album "A Circle Cherry", was self-released Summer 2004. This
dark and brooding album feels like Urban Gospel put through a
blender, and contains some of the best work by a North-West Artist in
years. It is currently being remastered for an Mp3 release of the
whole album.
Over the next year, in between small shows and working toward a
degree in Mathematics, he was spending most of his time in his
favorite place, the studio; Co-Writing and Producing new songs with
Jesse Espinoza for his upcoming release, "Everything For Amy", and
writing another album for himself, "The Acropolis".
"The Acropolis (released Summer 2005), is his second record. In
contrast to "A Circle Cherry it has a more upbeat and vibrant feel.
He is currently in the Studio again, working on his new Album, “Tea
Green.”
