Judy Saiya is a singer songwriter from Northern NJ. Her musical spectrum spans acoustic pop to hard rock. Her writing was inspired by the great bands of the 70’s such as Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, and Jefferson Airplane, but she has a voice and vibe that’s uniquely hers.

Judy began writing even before she learned to play guitar and this is the major force as to why she remains performing today. She has amassed an impressive catalog of songs which she refers to as “Stories with attitude” She has released two CDs, Forget Last Night & View and has always been the leader of her own band.

Although she never stopped writing, Judy put performing on hold to run operations for a start- up pro audio design firm, Empirical Labs. Later that company would go on to have one of the best loved pieces of gear in audio history and find its place in the TEC Hall Of Fame. Empirical Labs reconnected Judy with several people from her musical past, one of them being guitarist and music producer Steven DeAcutis. also known as Stevie D. Steve had played on Judy’s first recording project and this meeting sparked an interest to get back into the studio. Judy is now putting the finishing touches on her 3rd CD due out in early 2019 which was produced by Steve at his studio, Sound Spa Productions.

Due to their history this project took on a sentimental meaning and they decided to put together a top- notch band to play these new songs live. Their debut at Crossroad in Garwood NJ this past November was a great success and people walked away feeling they had witnessed something special. The band is ready to play select venues in the tri-state area.

Judy would like to thank Gil Griffith of Wave Distro and the crew at Empirical Labs Inc. for their sponsorship and support!
