Sito and The Starseeds

Biography

Biography
Sito is a vocalist/musician with a multicultural background.

Having been raised in Mexico and the US, Sito found a way back to his roots when he moved to Switzerland, his father's homeland.

In the late 80's Sito had just arrived in Geneva when he was spotted by a famous local heavy metal band. They heard a demo he had recorded with another group and right away called him to replace the departing singer and record their debut album. This came as such an opportunity as the band was managed by the same people behind Metallica. They then toured Europe opening for big acts such as METALLICA, KING DIAMOND, and many others and the album sold at 60.000 units and is now considered as an underground success.

But Sito's curiosity to experiment other styles just led him to go back to studying at the Conservatoire Populaire of Music, majoring in jazz vocals.

Having been influenced by rock, metal but also disco, blues and gospel, Sito kept on singing with such a wide variety of projects.

He then recorded two albums with a collective named PATATAS CHIPAS CLUB in 2005 and 2006. Both albums which are still available for puchase on ITUNES, NAPSTER and EMUSIC. This band became a huge success in Switzerland where they toured for two years non-stop, playing at the biggest festivals in the country, such as PALEO FESTIVAL, CARIBANA and many others.

In these past few years, Sito has been active recording vocals for European producers on the dance and house scene mainly, but not exclusively, as well as singing live with DJ's at clubs.

Several US and European artists have also recruited Sito for their European tours as a backup vocalist.

Sito is now preparing to record with his new project FREESOUL, a trio with which he sings mainly jazz, blues and soul tunes, and they are also playing a few clubs here and there.
