Saidah landed a few amazing jobs, including the ones at The Fader and NPR, where she was able to work with some of the biggest artists around. Now at Sonos Radio as Executive Producer, Saidah spends a lot of time researching and listening to new music, while working with her 'killer' team curating amazing radio shows.
