Saudy Familia is a Dominican-born composer, songwriter and drummer based in New York City. His passion for music emerged at the young age of four-years-old through singing and being taught how to play the piano by his father in the Dominican Republic. After his family immigrated to New York City in 2003, he was able to elevate himself as a musician by attending Washington Heights Expeditionary Learning School (WHEELS) and was able to become a Jazz and Latin Jazz drummer. His music is influenced by Brian McKnight and Marc Anthony, who later stood out to Familia as he would go study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music as a Composer and Arranger.
