Jorie and Christie West, make up this award winning duo and are known for their unique blend of rich, beautiful harmonies. Jorie and Christie West are mother and daughter who, after working for many years as studio musicians and backup vocalists on the mainland and in Hawaii, began singing together as Sayani (Cherokee word meaning Zion).  The Sacred Fire album was written to share their family stories, both past and present, of life as an Indian through language and music.  
Sayani is the Native American arm of Aloha Ke Akua Ministries,  a ministry to Indigenous peoples all over the world. While living in Hawaii they sang with the Hawaiian group Na Kahu and sang back up vocals on various albums throughout the state. They are members of Eagle Mountain International Church in Fort Worth, Texas and enjoy singing on the worship team when they are not singing or ministering elsewhere.
