Inside Sakoya’s childhood and roots
Now working hard to create her own path, JT Entertainment has helped Sakoya launch her music career. Although she has sung and written music from a young age, only in recent years has she decided to pursue her talents.
From Los Angeles, she grew up surrounded by talent, and clearly followed in her father’s routes as a musician. Starting out by writing poetry, Sakoya would write about love, nature and experiences, and has done it for most of her life.
Sakoya told The Hollywood Tribune:
The poetry that I used to write, I kinda wanna say it was more about earthly things, experiences and love. It’s so crazy, when you’re a little kid, you think you know so much about love. So, I was writing a lot about all of these things. That’s mainly what I was writing about.

My uncle [K-Ci Hailey] my dad, they’re more soulful and give straight vocals. So it’s a completely different feeling. I have a lot of criticism from my dad about [using auto tune] sometimes, but I feel like we just butt heads because we’re from two different generations of music, you know, but overall, he’s very supportive.
