Vocalist and actor Siergio is a gifted performer with a warm, dusky voice and an emotive, deeply personal approach to forward-thinking R&B. A native of Chicago, Siergio grew up in a musical family with a grandmother who was also a singer. Under her influence, he came into contact with the music of artists like Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Sam Cooke, and others. He also imbibed a healthy dose of contemporary hip-hop, pop, and R&B performers. By his teens, he was writing and recording his own songs, and in 2009 he relocated to Atlanta to better pursue his career. Soon after, he expanded into acting, appearing as Chase Smith on the popular web drama Dream the Urban Musical. He also continued to raise his musical profile, opening for artists like T-Pain, Big Sean, Monica, and Robin Thicke, among others. In 2016 Siergio delivered his debut album, Songs for the Jeep, and his sophomore full-length, This Will Hurt, was released two years later. Buoyed by the singles "On My Way" and "Temporary," the album peaked at number one on digital R&B charts. ~ Matt Collar
