Recently she was selected out of 500 contestants to represent the Philadelphia area by singing the National Anthem at a 2006 NFL Eagles game. In the fashion print world, she has been featured in TeenPeople and Vogue magazine as well as in several fine art exhibitions. She also recently starred as Julie in the independent feature film, Rice Cracker.
Her solo music album, Broke Heart Solutions, is scheduled for release on August 5, 2006. She is currently looking for the right music record label to launch her unique voice: sensitive, silky, yet surprisingly soulful, from the lungs of an Asian female. Sahanghee has been interviewed on WTMR 1080 AM’s Message in the Music and FM Radio Station Power 99’s Sunday Morning Inspirations; her singles, “Be Alright” and “Remember” have played on their airwaves. She has collaborated with some of Philly’s finest gospel, R&B, and hip-hop talent, including Jenae Paden, Christopher Aikens, Joshua Arrington, Eskoh, DBak, and Christlike da General.

I thought to myself, ‘that’s the way singing’s supposed to be.’ And I’ve been working at it ever since. I’ve prayed for years for God to bless me and to enable me to bless others. He has answered, and continues to answer, but that isn’t to say it’s been easy.”
