SADIKI - BIOGRAPHY:
Sadiki (born Henry Buckley) in Rollington Town, Kingston, Jamaica.
He is a singer, songwriter, producer and engineer. He masterfully combines influences from Nat King Cole to Beenie Man.
Sadiki and his family migrated to the United States in the late 80's and they settled on Chicago's northside. As part of Chicago's sizeable Jamaican community he was exposed to the newest Reggae sounds coming out of Jamaica as well as the cutting edge of Hip-Hop and R&B. Through these influences Sadiki has developed a vocal range and lyrical skills that brings together the best of both worlds. In 1997 his self-titled debut was released on "Scratchie/Mercury Label" under the name "Pancho Kryztal".
Sadiki returned to Jamaica in 1998 and recorded the single “Rescue Me”.
In 1999, at the suggestion of reggae producer Paul Henton, he changed his name From Pancho Kryztal to Sadiki, (An Egyptian name meaning “faithful or Loyal”).
In 2001 he scored a big hit with “Gal Dem Everytime” on the Buyout riddim for producer Tony 'CD' Kelly. Sadiki then met the Reggae singer Beres Hammond, he was asked to add his vocals to a track at Hammond's Silekshan Studio. Within months of working alongside Hammond, Sadiki was selected as an opening act for the "Music is Life World Tour 2002". On tour with Hammond for almost two years, Sadiki performed throughout the USA, Japan and the Caribbean. Between 2002 and 2006, Sadiki released six singles with the self-produced “Pretty Girl” entering the NY Top 30 Reggae Chart, peaking at #16.
In 2007, Sadiki scored another major hit with a remake of Robin Thicke‟s “Lost Without You” on the Taxi Riddim (Joe Fraser Records).
After a successful 4-city tour of Japan in March of 2007, he was offered a licensing deal for that territory. His second album “Morning’s Come” was released in Japan in November of 2007 (Skinny Bwoy/P-Vine Records). Within weeks of its release, the album hit the #1 spot for reggae releases at HMV record stores throughout Japan, and charted within the top 5 at Tower Records. The US Version of “Morning’s Come”, featuring new and unreleased tracks was independently released worldwide in the Fall of 2008.
In 2010, he released “Lifeline” (Skinny Bwoy Label). The album featured sixteen beautifully crafted tracks, nine of which were written by Sadiki and produced by veteran Lloyd Campbell, Jason Sterling and Sadiki.
A collaborative album “Fi Di Dancehall” with ace DJ Delly Ranx was released in February 2011. The first single from that album “Jamaican Queen”, has also hit the BBC World Reggae Beat Top 10 Chart. Sadiki recently added the title “Artist Manager” to his credentials, signing Reggae group “CHALICE”, Ska Legend “Eric Monty Morris” and Rocksteady giants “The Tennors” to management deals. At the end of 2011, he recorded a new single with top reggae producer Kemar "Flava‟ McGregor. The single "Before The Time" has been included on McGregor's "Club Dance Riddim".
Through his travels throughout the US, Japan and the Caribbean, Sadiki has shared the stage with Buju Banton, Gyptian, Shaggy, Wayne Wonder, Maxi Priest, Marcia Griffiths, KCi & Jo Jo, Beenie Man, Gerald Levert, Kelly Price among others.
In June 2018, Sadiki is back with the new album "Blue Mountain Acoustic"
