Traditionally a biography is written by .a second person and written as if he/she just finished interviewing you for over an hour. My bio will be a little different. I think I will just write it myself. It's the least I can do since you have taken the time to read a Bio on a complete stranger.

My name is Sebastian Sidi. I am 25 years old & born in Montevideo Uruguay (South America} 1975. I arrived in the US with my Family (Dad -Eduardo, Mom - Miriam, & Older Brother - Ernesto) in the year of 1982. I began my music journey at age 12 playing the drums. I was a self taught musician right from the start. Throughout the years I played drums with various genres of music. Rap, Rock, Latin, Heavy Metal & Even played for a Church. If I recall correctly, I started playing around with a little Casio Keyboard at the age of 19. In 1997 I was playing keyboards with a Female Country Rock Artist. In 1998 I decided it was not for me. So I then started creating my own music. Being that I could not sing, I decided to just create instrumental compositions. In 1999 I released my first CD "PRELUDE" No; it was not in stores, but I STILL RELEASED IT RIGHT? I then made it a goal to perform at every popular outdoor venue in Orange County.

I reached that goal. That same year I performed at the Triangle Square in Costa Mesa, The Block of Orange, Irvine Spectrum, Orange County Market Place, Fashion Island, & Shoreline Village in Long Beach. I could not believe I was actually getting PAID to play, and people were actually buying my CD. People were even asking for Autographs. You have no idea how great it feels when a stranger asks you for an autograph right after he/she just bought your CD, especially knowing they just heard your music that day for the very first time. "It's an amazing feeling".

I have always been self managed. Everything I've accomplished to this day has happened with a lot of door knocking and a lot of confidence. For those who are just starting, confidence is the key to moving forward. If, after today, I do not move any further, I will remain inexplicably happy because of all that I was able to accomplish without involving the Dark Side of the Music Business.

Next was my first review from a small magazine in San Diego called ELECTRONIC ORCHESTRA. Luckily it was a great review. Following that, I was booked on KOCE Channel 50, Real Orange. I performed a song, was interviewed and had the opportunity to introduce myself to Orange County & promote my CD "Prelude"

After a year of playing and selling many copies of Prelude I decided to create my next album "ELECTRIFIED". I was very happy with it. The production came out even BETTER than Prelude. From that time, I have been booked once again on KOCE for its release. I have also been booked on Channel 35 'THE KATHY BEE SHOW". I received press in The PRESS TELEGRAM, DOWNEY EAGLE, DOWNEY BUSINESS, EXCELSIOR (Spanish Division of the Register), & DEL NORTE AL SUR (An Argentine Newspaper.)

I have also performed at PERSHING SQUARE in Downtown Los Angeles, a very well respected Entertainment Venue. I was asked to perform at the Orange County / Long Beach Gay & Lesbian Pride Festival. I was fortunate enough to be one of the acts that opened up for the Village People, Lisa Lisa & Joan Jet.

So ultimately, this has been, so far a wonderful experience. I have met MANY wonderful people and great Fans. I still can't believe that somewhere, somehow, someone is listening to my music.

It's just Amazing!!!
