The result of their hard labor was the sophomore studio work The Revival (1990). Saadiq utilized heavily the experience he gained while touring with Prince which was of a great help to work in his team. Raphael and his group spent the following years steadily perfecting their skills on stage and in studio. The first single, Little Walter, featured a mix of new wave soul and still evolving rap, and topped the R&B charts. After that, Raphael assembled his own band entitled Tony! Toni! Tone! They released their debut album Who? in 1988. Finishing high school, he was chosen as bassist to play for Prince during his international touring.
It was the time when the young boy made up his mind to become a professional musician.
Aged six, he learned how to play bass and began performing at church, school and community events.
Born Raphael Wiggins in Oakland, California, on, Raphael Saadiq grew fond of music since his early childhood years.
