Wakana - Saxcess Story (2018)

Now for an artist, new to me, who seems sure to make a big splash in the years to come. Sax player WaKaNa not only plays smooth jazz, soul and R&B but also collaborates with rappers, vocalists and DJs. Born in Chiba, Japan and an integral member of the upcoming pop instrumental band LUCA, WaKaNa graduated from the Shobi Musical College in Tokyo.

Now she is taking her first step in reaching out to a wider audience with the single ‘Saxcess Story’. Produced by and featuring hit-maker Greg Manning on keys this zesty cut is a nice addition to the year’s crop of new music.
