Chad Saaiman
Talented singer/songwriter, recording artist and model, Chad Saaiman, has been performing professionally for over a decade and has graced stages in Cape Town, London, Spain, Seychelles, Johannesburg and several other big cities around the world with his music. Having graduated from the University of the Western Cape with a B.A. Degree in English Literature and Communications, Chad is a prolific songwriter who has penned radio singles for some of SA’s biggest artists, including Loyiso Bala, for whom he wrote Found Love, as well as SAMA 2012 nominated track, World of Mine. Soulful and versatile, Chad’s star continues to rise on the South African music scene.
Chad released his debut album “Chasing Melodies” through Stereotype Records. With three hit singles – Moving On, Seeing Stars, and Won’t Change – released to radio, the album sold well nationally and received a SAMA nomination for Best English Pop Album in 2009.
His second album, “The Flight”, continues to win over a multitude of fans, with chart-topping singles like Thinking About You and Days Go By. The most notable track off the album is Untouchable, which was produced by two-time Grammy winner, Ron Feemster, known for his work with musical icons such as Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige and Ne-Yo.
Chad’s love for music comes from being in the right place at the right time. Having grown up in a home where the music of legendary musicians like Stevie Wonder and Brook Benton was always “on rotation”, it’s no wonder his own songs are so soulful. “My mother had a deep and emotionally connection to music and my father was really good singer,” he says.
On stage, Chad is super-smooth and oozes a charm only a true entertainer can pull off. He powers into each song with such force, audiences can’t help but be knocked back. And there’s something about the way he sings, that demonstrates an emotional connection to his lyrics.

- SABC Tent with The Black Ties at J&B Met 2012
- The Grand Arena alongside Brandon October, Sasha-Lee Davids, Karin Kortje and James Bhemgee at Duets 2012
