Sadiki is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on November 17, 1971 in Jamaica.
He was born Henry Buckley Jr., in Rollington Town, Kingston, Jamaica. With a father, Henry Buckley, who was a singer-songwriter and the Music Director/Conductor for the Jamaica Constabulary Force Band, Sadiki was given no choice as to the career path that would later choose him. He migrated to the United States in the late ’80s and settled on Chicago’s northside. As part of Chicago’s sizeable Jamaican community he was exposed to the newest Reggae sounds coming out of Jamaica as well as the cutting edge of Hip-Hop, R&B and everything in between. Through these influences Sadiki has developed the vocal range and lyrical skills that brings together the best of both worlds. In the late ’90s he landed a deal with the D’arcy Wretzy (Smashing Pumpkins) and Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne/Ivy) owned label Scratchie Records, (distributed by Mercury Records). In 1997 his self-titled debut was released on Scratchie/Mercury under the name Pancho Kryztal, to good reviews but disappointing sales as Mercury Records went through a change in its corporate structure.
Unfazed by the lack of commercial success on his first major release, he returned to Jamaica in 1998 and recorded “Rescue Me” on the Bookshelf riddim with dancehall producer Tony “CD” Kelly (Sean Paul, Lady Saw, Mr. Vegas, Super Cat). In 1999, at the suggestion of reggae producer “Computer” Paul Henton (Shabba Ranks, Beres Hammond, Shaggy, Jimmy Cliff), he was changed his name to Sadiki – an Egyptian name meaning “faithful or loyal” (misspelled Sadeki on some earlier releases). During this trip, he recorded the catchy dancehall song “Love How Yuh Tan” on the Whoo riddim (K-Licious Records). Sadiki again returned to Jamaica in 2001 where he scored a major dancehall hit with “Gal Dem Everytime” on the Buyout riddim for reggae producer Tony “CD” Kelly. He also recorded “Tribute” on the Smile riddim and “Sure” on the No Vacancy riddim for Henton’s Boot Camp Records. During that year, Sadiki met reggae singer-songwriter Beres Hammond. He was asked to add his vocals to a track at Hammond’s Silekshan Studio. Within a few months of working alongside Hammond, Sadiki was selected as one of the opening acts for the elder musicians’ Music is Life World Tour 2002. On tour with Hammond for almost two years, Sadiki performed throughout the US, Japan and the Caribbean. Taking the lessons he had learned on the road with Hammond, he returned to Jamaica where he started work on his debut album.
