Welcome to The Musical Realm of Sa’D”The Hourchild” Ali !
A teen prodigy on The Wheels of Steel, Sa’D came up in the streets of Newark. The nephew of George Clinton became fascinated with all forms of music in his household, through his Mother and Step Father who was probably the single most influence in his life early on. His step father was a true Black Hippie, and introduced his stepson to all kinds of music. From Jimi Hendrix to Led Zeppelin to Disco.
“I first told my mother I wanted to be a D.J. at the age 12 or 13, I was in the 7th grade. Before that I had wanted to be in my Uncles’ band (Funkadelic) but I was too young. So she did all in her power to make sure I was around my Uncle as much as possible as a kid.”
Sa’D became involved in a new art form: DJing. “I began at an age where no one at the age of 12 was even thinking about learning to D.J. ” they were way too young ! They were playing baseball or football or making go-carts. I was on a mission.
