Hip-Hop Artist & Record Producer; Co-Founder of the Musical Collective Pivot Gang & Co-Founder, John Walt Foundation

Saba, a renowned figure in the music industry, is recognized for his contributions as a co-founder of the musical collective Pivot Gang. Further enhancing his musical profile, he is a member of the supergroup Ghetto Sage, sharing this platform with artists Smino and Noname. His musical prowess was first recognized with his independent mixtapes, "GETCOMFORTable" and "ComfortZone." His first significant television appearance was on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" where he performed the song "Angels" with Chance the Rapper in 2015. His debut album, "Bucket List Project," was released the following year.

In 2017, following the death of his cousin and fellow Pivot Gang member, John Walt, Saba was instrumental in establishing the John Walt Foundation, an organization dedicated to empowering, enabling, and connecting Chicago's artistic youth. This philanthropic endeavor did not hinder his musical journey, and in 2018, he released his second album, "CARE FOR ME," featuring artists such as Chance the Rapper. The same year, the Chicago Tribune acknowledged his musical and philanthropic contributions by naming him one of the "Chicagoans of the Year." His third album, "Few Good Things," was released in 2022, featuring guest appearances from notable artists like Black Thought and G Herbo.

As a testament to his widespread recognition and popularity, Saba has headlined several tours, including "ComfortZone Live," "Bucket List Tour," "Care For Me Tour," and "Back Home - A Tour By Saba." He has also supported other artists like Mick Jenkins, Kirk Knight, Jazz Cartier, and JID on their tours. His performance at the 22nd Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2023 further demonstrated his influence and reach to a global audience.
