I am SaiDON Richardson but most people call me Sai. I am a self-taught, 24-year-old music producer from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I began learning music production at the age of 14. I currently own and operate Gated Community Studios, a music recording studio in Tallahassee, Florida.
I have production placements for YNW Melly, (which became RAA certified gold), Bossman DLow, Loe Shimmy and NoCap among many other artists. I take inspiration from Pro Era, Odd Future, and Hiatus Kaiyote due to their influence over my upbringing.
