Sebastian Mego is a true singer who considers Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder his strongest influences. In December 2005, at 16 years old, Sebastian attracted the attention of Steve Greenberg, then president of Columbia Records, who after hearing him sing live in his office signed him to a record deal on the spot. That same month he also signed a publishing deal with Windswept (now known as Bug). Although Sebastian’s time at Columbia Records was short lived (he was released from his contract in April 2007) due to the restructuring of the company, he was fortunate enough to have met and worked with some of the industries top producers and writers and recorded over 60 songs of which he co-wrote 36. Sebastian has had vocal coaching from Seth Riggs, a legend in the industry. Seth often commented that Sebastian was able to do things vocally at age 16 that most great singers couldn’t do until they were twice his age. He is currently studying voice with Rachel Riggs. With such an amazing voice, Sebastian is not only destined for stardom, but is already carving his niche as an artist whose voice will withstand the test of time. Read more on Last.fm.
