Sacha Sacket is the luckiest guy in the world, isn’t he? He has a gorgeous all-women band, a new album for 2007 (his third album), an MTV-ready/style video (“Judy“), and he’s starring in an upcoming movie called November Son the sequel to October Moon (2005).
He was born in Iran, then moved to California at the age of one. It seems that his music career didn’t really take off until 2005, with his second album being played in over 150 radio stations (as well as NPR).
It’s easy to spot his influences in songs like “Brandon Boyd”, which sounds as if Thom Yorke decided to take Radiohead back pre-Kid A (this is a good thing).
The song, “Brandon Boyd”, seems like he’s mocking “the cool kids”, such as with lyrics like “keep the fat chicks/and the fags in line”.
I was interested in the song enough to look up who Brandon Boyd was – apparently this is the lead singer to the band Incubus.
Upon further reading, Boyd and Sacket (and those guys from Linkin Park & Hoobastank) were old classmates in high school. There are lines in the songs that suggests that they were really tight friends:
I’ll smoke, would you smoke. I’ll choke, if you’ll choke. I’ll joke if you joke.
Funny, but the song dedicated to Boyd sounds nothing like an Incubus song, haha.
His latest CD is called Lovers and Leaders, released by Golden Sphinx Records, and he’s currently wrapping up his major tour for this album.
