Sheena Sakai was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to a mother of Korean descent and a Japanese-American father. Sheena derived her multitalented persona early on by emulating the talents of both of her parents, who were both models and worked in television. Her father worked as a professional stunt man and in Hotel Banquet Management. Meanwhile, her mother worked as a fashion designer. It was no surprise when Sheena developed a knack for entertainment. To compliment her predisposition towards the arts Sheena trained in ballet, hula, jazz, piano and choir from childhood on. Her fortunate exposure to such facets at a young age lead to her answering the call to fulfill her passion in the Arts by pursuing a career down that path.
In 2007 Sheena furthered her modeling and singing careers by leaving paradise to take on the βBig Apple.β Within her first year in New York City Sheena had landed herself a spot as a finalist in the ever popular syndicated TV show, Americas Next Top Model (Cycle 11). She exploded onto the eleventh season of the series and made her mark as one of the break out contestants. As an instant favorite, she awed the audience with her warm, sassy, yet relatable personality. Sheena has been remembered for a few reasons; one of those being that when asked if her breasts were real during judging, she said βno.β Later during that same panel, she admitted that they were indeed augmented and she felt horrible for lying.Β
Sheena made such an impression on the public that she was asked to return for the All Star Edition of Americas Next Top Model in 2011. Along the way she had amassed a large and diverse fan base, especially within the Asian and LGBT communities, who continue to support her to this day.Β
Sheena has appeared in various magazines and has been featured on NBC, the Halogen Channel, The CW, PIXX, and many more. Sheena has since modeled for various designers and walked on many runways for Fashion Week. Sakai has also booked several national commercials and features.
During the summer of 2012 Sheena re-found and returned to her first love, music. Training alongside celebrity vocal coach, Craig Derry, she has been building her music. Together they have been training in the studio, rehearsing, writing and CO-producing. Sheena has plans to release an album by the end of this year. She is currently seeking representation that will aid her in achieving her goals.
From Hawaii to Harlem, branching out along the way, Sheena has always remained humble in spirit and stayed true to her heart. She has left her mark in all her endeavors with her gifts, talent, and undeniable charisma. Sheena Sakai is not just another pretty face, but a proven force and entity that stands strong!
