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!!!
