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 with Jackson this past year, "I'm extremely excited to be given a second chance to make the music I love, and to be able to share it with the world. I want to thank Chauncy and the Siri Music family for believing in me," says Sebastian.
Sebastian’s has lend his voice to several projects. Most recently, he performed at the Hague Jazz Festival in the Netherlands. He is also on Disney’s Jump In album with the You Tube favorite “Where I Go From Here” and can be heard on the songs “A Time To Love” and “My Love Is On Fire,” from Stevie Wonder’s most recent album A Time To Love. "We are ready to expose a naturally gifted artist to the industry," says Jackson. "Times are changing and consumers want substance. We plan to extend his reach while developing an artist that speaks to the youth for years to come."
Jackson and Sebastian entered the studio this November to begin recording his debut album due Spring 2010.
