On No Bandwidth, Raphael shares, “I’ve always wanted to do a one-man show. I want to challenge myself. My one-person show has three acts; I will be talking about my career, bringing a couple of instruments to express myself, singing my original music as well as covers of songs I wish I had written, and more. I want it to feel magical and like a Broadway show.”

This past weekend, Saadiq performed at the NBA All-Star game on February 16th in San Francisco. Prior to tip-off, he welcomed fans and introduced the 2025 NBA All-Stars, as well as performed a masterful tribute to the Bay Area and its rich musical history alongside a 14-piece band.

About Raphael Saadiq

Over the course of five groundbreaking solo albums, three Grammy Awards (and twenty additional nominations) as well as recognition from both the Oscars and Golden Globes, Raphael Saadiq has cemented his status as a true icon of contemporary music. Between his work as an artist, producer and songwriter, he has sold over 30 million records worldwide. His remarkable journey began in 1984, when, at just 18 years old, he was already sharing stages with music royalty Prince and Sheila E.

His artistry soon flourished with the formation of Tony! Toni! Toné!, that helped define the sound of '90s R&B. With unforgettable anthems like "If I Had No Loot" and "Anniversary," Saadiq became a pivotal figure in shaping the genre's landscape. Saadiq's influence expanded as he ventured into a critically acclaimed solo career, debuting with the genre-defining Instant Vintage in 2002. His unique ability to seamlessly blend vintage soul with modern sensibilities propelled him to the forefront of the pop and R&B genres, while his production genius turned him into one of the most sought-after collaborators in music. From D'Angelo's iconic Voodoo to Solange's A Seat at the Table, Saadiq has shaped some of the most influential albums of the 21st century. His own critically lauded Jimmy Lee (2019) further solidified his reputation as a boundary-pushing artist. His recent contributions to Beyoncé’s iconic albums, Renaissance and Cowboy Carter earned him 8 more Grammy nominations and 2 wins. As he enters the fifth decade of his illustrious career, Raphael Saadiq remains an indispensable force, continuing to shape and redefine the sound of contemporary pop and soul.
