Early life[edit]
Saadiq was born in Oakland, California, the second-youngest of 14
siblings and half-siblings.[3] His early life was marked by tragedy;
he experienced the deaths of several of his siblings as a young child.
When Saadiq was seven years old, his brother was murdered. One of his
brothers overdosed on heroin and another committed suicide because he
was unable to deal with his addiction to the drug. His sister died as
a result of a car crash during a police chase in a residential
neighborhood. Saadiq states that he does not want his music to be
reflective of the tragedies he experienced, saying that "And through
all of that I was makin' records, but it wasn't comin' out in the
music. I did it to kinda show people you can have some real tough
things happen in your life, but you don't have to wear it on your
sleeve."[3]
He has been playing the bass guitar since the age of six,[2] and first
began singing at age nine in a local gospel group.[6][7] At the age of
12, he joined a group called "The Gospel Humminbirds". In 1984,
shortly before his 18th birthday, Saadiq heard about tryouts in San
Francisco for Sheila E.'s backing band on Prince's Parade Tour. At the
audition, he chose the name "Raphael", and had difficulty remembering
to respond to the name when he heard that he got the part to play bass
in the band.[3] He says of the experience, "Next thing I was in Tokyo,
in a stadium, singin' Erotic City. We were in huge venues with the
biggest sound systems in the world; all these roadies throwin' me
basses, and a bunch of models hangin' round Prince to party. For
almost two years. That was my university."[3]

Raphael Saadiq has
been a singer of doubt, of psychic wounds, of romance undergoing a
test.
“
”
– Ken Tucker, NPR[8]
After returning to Oakland from touring with Prince, Saadiq began his
professional career as the lead vocalist and bassist in the rhythm and
blues and dance trio
Tony! Toni! Toné!

Tony! Toni! Toné! He used the name Raphael
Wiggins while in Tony! Toni! Toné!, along with his brother Dwayne
Wiggins, and his cousin Timothy Christian. In the mid-1990s, he
adopted the last name Saadiq, which means "man of his word" in
Arabic.[3] His change of surname led many to speculate that he had
converted to
Islam

Islam at that point; in reality, Saadiq is not a Muslim,
but rather just liked the way "Saadiq" sounded and changed his last
name simply to distinguish himself from and avoid potential confusion
with his brother, Dwayne Wiggins.[9] As he confirmed by telling noted
R&B writer Pete Lewis of the award-winning 'Blues & Soul' in
May 2009, "I just wanted to have my own identity!"[10]
In 1995, Saadiq had his biggest solo hit to date, when "Ask of You",
featured on the Higher Learning Soundtrack peaked at #19 on the
Billboard Hot 100

Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on the R&B chart. In 1995, Saadiq
produced and performed on Otis & Shug's debut album, We Can Do
Whatever.
Tony! Toni! Toné!

Tony! Toni! Toné! would become major R&B superstars throughout
the late-1980s and 1990s. However, after the 1996 album entitled House
of Music failed to duplicate the group's previous success, Tony! Toni!
Toné! went their separate ways in 1997.
1999–2004:
Lucy Pearl and first string of solo albums[edit]

In 1999, Saadiq's next big project became the R&B supergroup Lucy
Pearl. He recorded the self-titled album with
Dawn Robinson

Dawn Robinson (En Vogue)
and
Ali Shaheed Muhammad

Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest). The group only lasted
for one album.
Also in 1999, he collaborated with rapper Q-Tip on the single "Get
Involved", from the animated television series The PJs. It samples The
Intruders' 1973 song "I'll Always Love My Mama" and charted at number
21 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks.[11]
His 2000 song collaboration "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" won D'Angelo
a
Grammy Award

Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance; it was also
nominated for
Grammy Award

Grammy Award for Best R&B Song.[12] The song was
ranked #4 on Rolling Stone's "End of Year Critics & Readers Poll"
of the top singles of 2000.[13] D'Angelo's album Voodoo won a Grammy
Award for Best R&B Album at the 2001 Grammy Awards.
In 2002, Saadiq founded his own record label, Pookie Entertainment.
Among the artists on the label are Joi and Truth Hurts. In 2002, he
released his first solo album Instant Vintage, which earned him five
Grammy Award

Grammy Award nominations. He released a two-disc live album All the
Hits at the House of Blues in 2003, and his second studio album Ray
Ray in 2004, both on Pookie Entertainment.

produced artists including Macy Gray, the Roots, D'Angelo, John
Legend, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, and more. With all of them
he's pushed a classic aesthetic, heavy on organic sounds and light on
studio magic, deeply indebted to the past and distrustful of easy
formulas."[14]
Saadiq's third solo album, The Way I See It, released on Columbia
Records on September 16, 2008, available in a collector's edition box
set of 7" 45 rpm singles as well as on traditional CD, was critically

he and his band performed as the ESPY's house band for the night,
where he performed his latest compositions.
Saadiq's 2011 album
Stone Rollin'

Stone Rollin' was released to great critical
acclaim.[17][18] "He's always had a boyish enthusiasm for performing,
and a flexible, naturally joyous voice that suggests a young Stevie
Wonder," wrote
Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune, "but with his latest
album, Saadiq finds a new gear. The album and his current tour
demonstrate that there's a big difference between retro and classic,
and the artist consistently finds himself on the right side of that
divide."[19] Kot ranked the album number seven in his year-end list,
in which he dubbed it Saadiq's "finest achievement" and stated, "He's
always written songs steeped in soul and R&B, but now he gives
them a progressive edge with roaming bass lines and haunted keyboard
textures. He's no longer a retro stylist – he's writing new
classics."[20] Critic
Jim Derogatis called it "a stone cold gas of a
party disc."[21]
In fall 2011, he performed on the fourth results show of Dancing with
the Stars season 13. In December 2011, he performed a cover
compilation of several Neil Diamond songs at the Kennedy Center Honors

the restored first electrical sound recording system from the
1920s.[23] Of recording on the system he said, “it’s amazing to
just look at how it’s built, you know just look at the machine
itself. It just has this like magical sound the way that it’s built.
It’s true. It’s just the truest sound you could ever get.”[24]
