Sebastian Mikael: “Soul and R&B, those are my roots, but then I’m always trying to create something that’s different, something that makes me unique.”

The acts who influenced him growing up are a unique bunch.

Sebastian Mikael: “I was listening to Marvin Gaye, but I was also listening to Bob Marley, also Led Zeppelin. I was listening to, you know, Babyface, Sade.”

“Speechless,” Mikael’s debut album, is due out in June. The songs let you know where he’s at right now. That’s how the writing process worked.

His fans played a role in creating the album.

Sebastian Mikael: “When you record a song, obviously you’re gonna listen to it one way, but then when you perform it and you see how people receive it and also how it sounds sonically, it just kinda changes the feel of the record.”

“Speechless” is coming out on Slip-n-Slide Records. The label’s honcho, Ted Lucas, has worked with heavyweights like Rick Ross.

Ted Lucas: “I think the kid got the total package, you know. It ain’t just somebody who can just sing. you know, he’s a star to me. I think he’s definitely a star and he’s got star appeal. I think the ladies gonna like him.”
