Good afternoon Sebastian,
I happen to be channel surfing one Sunday night a couple of weeks ago and came across your concert on PBS KERA and fell in love with the music. As I watched you perform I knew I had to find out more about you and your music.

I did order the whole 6 CD set on Monday and I am counting the days until they arrive.

All I have right now is what can be played off this site. I do believe that I might be driving people here at work crazy listening to the same thing over and over. But since my job is a very stressful job I don't think they mind as long as I don't get mad or upset.

I would love to see your MySpace page but I do not have the internet at home so I use my work computer and IT has a lot of pages blocked and that happens to be one of them.

I just so happen to be having a rough day at work and got on to your web site and listen to your music and decided to send you an email. So I guess I might need to get back to work.

Thank you so much for your music and sharing the gift that the Lord has given to you.
Sandra

Sebastian, Thanks for your email comments about the video.

I do let my "heart bleed through my fingers" sometimes.
When I was a child I used to express a lot of my stuffed feelings through
making up my own compositions.  In my 20's - 30's I played many piano bars and had 2\two 45 min sets memorized.  Customers would say "You play with so much feeling." 
The truth was I couldn't sing the melody, so I would try to convey the meaning of the words in the song with my touch as I am sure you understand.

However, you my friend have changed lives with your music.  Including your own. I have had many friends watch your stuff on YouTube and they are always amazed.

I love to watch some of the videos over and over. I never tire of the Disney playing with passion 1/09  I saw you that night and I was so impressed I couldn't even talk to you.  Stupid of me!  I loved everything and the gold baseball cap.  For me, The best moment in your video's is when you are playing along and you look-up at the audience and give that quick smile.  Its all good and at that moment, I feel like you really connect with all your adoring fans, of which I have become. 

Be well,

L:=)

Wow! Another great performance by the Sebastian Sidi Band! Thank you guys for allowing me to be part of such a spectacular event, you guys are awesome. I truly had a great time and I thank each and every one of you for taking me under your wing and sharing the magic. I’m in total awe of all the talent, just when I think something is perfect, you guys go and make it better.

So many famous names appeared on the ”Wall” of the O.C. Pavilion, so many famous performances graced that very same stage, you Sebastian along with the Sidi Band have are so very deserving to share the same space as those before you.

Some people say that it is a great thing to achieve such a “Goal”, but for the “Sebastian Sidi Band” it has been the “Journey” that makes you so special, because along the way you have collected so many fans, captured so many hearts and made each and every one of us feel very special.

Thank you Sebastian, Javier, John, James and Mike…You guys are the greatest!

Sincerely, Dan Romo

sebastian!!!

Marissa

Sebastian, you are electrifying and your music is brilliant! Keep up the great work. You are a gifted musician.I urge everyone to see this new and up and coming artist, a real treat.

Gray

An Unbeleivable show last night!!! In my opinion you where the highlight. I just can't get enough of your amazing talent. Your copmposioons are so diverse... classical, rock, dance, new age!! HAve you no limits man!!! I can't wait to see you again. CAN NOT WAIT!!!!

Stephanie

Fantastic performance, as always, last night. Sorry I missed Kyleellen, though. We've known each other for quite a while, and she was once my show's co-host. I didn't know she would be in the audience, but I'm glad that the two of you great talents have met. I posted a review of the concert on my blogs, as well as on my show's Web Site. It was the best evening's entertainment I enjoyed since your last concert.

Jack

That was an amazing, wonderful explosion of musical talent we saw last night. My son was thrilled to meet you and thinking you are a very nice guy besides greatly talented. We are both bless to have been at your concert. Best Wishes, Ln

saw you down in long beach this past saturday... spectacular. kept coming at the end of your set... ps i had the red hat on, incase you have a great photographic memory. the cd is just... grand! thanks for good music.

lauren

My family and I met you at Shoreline yesterday and I wanted to thank you so much for how cool you were with my boys. I don't know if you remember but they were the two blondes Andrew 12 and Garrett 5. They were so impressed with your music and meeting you and now both want a keyboard for Christmas and both are dying to go to your concert. Everyone of us got an autograph, my boys each got a shirt one of which you signed as well and we also bought your CD pack. We all think you are great and very good looking too I might add :) anyways just wanted to drop you a note saying thanks for giving my boys a very special memory. Good luck to you.
Nichole

Hi, My name is Dan, I met you at Sam Ash in Cerritos. We were both waiting for the one and only sales person. I think you were looking for some keyboard cases or something. I was there to look at stage monitors. Anyway, we struck up a conversation while waiting for Mr. Slowpoke to get busy, all the time you were tinkering with a keyboard. I said that I didn't mind the wait because you were thoroughly entertaining me as you played. So, you suggested that I come and see your show at Granata's and when I realized who you were, I explained how much my wife loves your music. So we went to see the show, it was the first time for me and the third for my wife. I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your music as it took us away to some far off place in a musical world. What made it so special is that your father was in the restaurant with your family celebrating his birthday. Coming to see you play and the adulation your father holds for you made this an evening we will never forget. Thank you for sharing your time, talent and your beautiful family. I too play in a band with original rock-n-roll music and can only dream of capturing the attention of an audience as you do. You're awsome, keep up the good work my friend.
Sincerely,
Dan and Sharon
    

lol. no, you guys performed great together. man now i have proof that your music is infectious. remember that one guy dancing madly. it's the Sebastian Sidi effect. hahaha.

some of my cousins are going to see you October, 28 when you perform at the Chandler fashion center in arizona. i would go, but i have to work. hahaha.

well thanks again for another amazing show! your awesome man!

your biggest fan,
Martin

We love SS music. We happened to see him at a mall last may in orange co. calif. His music is so relaxing. We have a home based business and we play his music to create a mood for our home and lessen the stress, We think that he is very talented and are excited for his future.

Patty Hansen

Dear Patty,

     Thanks for your letter. I'm glad you enjoy the music. It's always nice to have music you like playing in the background while you are at work. It seems to make the day go by faster. I too do the same thing. I usually have an 80's hard rock CD playing but everyone needs something a little different to help them get through the day. Again thanks for your letter and your support

Sincerely
Sebastian Sidi

I had the pleasure of seeing The Sebastian Sidi Band in its entirety for the first time (BB Kings) and would like to share the experience but words fall short of this musical, visual and listening bliss. Being a musician most of my life, I can only qualify this by saying that if you have never experienced Sebastian Sidi with his band you are in for a real treat when you do. Javier fingers the frets faster than any guitarist I know, John flies up and down on the keyboard adding ambience to an already beautiful musical composition, Mike brings the bottom to life on the bass and James is phenomenal on drums (oh, to be 15 again). Just when you think you've been completely fulfilled out comes Georgia and Tanya, whose harmony takes you to the next level, I thought angels were singing in my head and I believe they were. Now this is music that makes you delirious and starved for more. Sebastian, thanks to your many CD's, your music will live in infamy and like the rest of your fans, followers and admirers, I will see you at the next show. I have been completely "Sidified" and know that every time you touch a key, you touch the hearts of many. Thank you my friend for sharing your love for music with all of us.
Sincerely, Dan Romo

Dear Sidi Music,

     Your new client, Sebastian Sidi, is wonderful. I can't say how much my friends and I love his music. We can't wait until his next CD comes out. The Web site is great I'm so glad there is a place where we can look this great musician up. He does a really great live performance and I hope to see him again soon!

Sincerely,
Paige F.

Dear Paige,

     Thank you very much for your letter. It's always nice to know that there are people out there listening to my music. Whether it's in the car, at home or in the office. It's just a very nice feeling. Thank you for giving that to me. I'm glad you like the web site. Sidi Music has really been doing a great job. Please send my thanks to all of your friends in the office. Make sure you have them stop by and visit the Site.

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

Dear Sebastian,

     I bought a copy of Electrified on Sunday when my husband and I came to see you at the Block. I love the CD. The music is so positive, fun, and technically superb. I think you are a great musician. It is really music for the soul.

     It is always fun seeing you live. I don't know that Block does justice to your music. With people milling around, it breaks the magic of the moment that you create. The best part about watching you play, rather that just listening to the CD, is seeing how you attack the keyboard. All the energy seems to go into the passion of the music. Little slips out through your face and body language.

     Thanks so much for cultivating your talent. I enjoy your work so much.

Yours truly,
Sharon Jones

Dear Sharon,

     Thanks for your letter. It's always nice to get some deep thoughts on not only the music in my CD's, but my Live performances as well. Performing can be very scary. I know it is for me. Though I think I have a pretty good relationship with my keyboard, the stage and I have yet to feel comfortable with one another. It's something that I'm sure all performers go through. Being on stage is like listening to your own voice. It's just not something you enjoy or feel confident about. That is for the most part, in my opinion. Unless of course you are a Radio Talk Show Host

     Thank you for helping me feel more confident about being on stage. Your thoughts are very reassuring and will help me a lot. Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

Dear Sidi Music,

     I am very happy to hear that you will be acting as Sebastian's new management. I must say that I love his music. I play his CDs at my office so that all of my coworkers can enjoy his music as much as I, and they do. His music has wonderful instrumental composition and is soothing during the hectic work days. On behalf of myself and everyone at my office I wish to say thank you and keep up the superb work!

Thanks,
Liz Crossley

Dear Elizabeth,

     All of us here at Sidi Music are very happy to hear that you are enjoying Sebastian's Music. It's our pleasure to help out in furthering this young mans career. He will with no doubt go very far in this business. This of course would be impossible without the support of his fans. We thank you again for your response and support.

Sincerely,
Sidi Music
-Management-

Dear Sebastian,

     It is amazing to see how far you have come from your intimate performances at the Long Beach Pier to this newfound stardom. With your talent, ambition, drive, passion, and dedication, anyone could tell that you would be a hit. I am very excited for all your successes and I know you will continue to go far. I encourage anyone who has any taste in music to check you out. You are on a level all your own.

     Keep doing what you love,

Jessica Sanchez
Dear Jessica,

     It's so nice to hear from someone that has been there since the beginning. Although I'm not quite up there in the "Stardom" category, I'm glad you have been there to witness the steps I have made to move forward. I have to admit though. Those intimate performances I did at Long Beach Shore Line Village were probably the most important of them all for me. It made me realize that yeah, I can move forward with my music. It was like an acceptance test. Also I had the opportunity to really perform for the first time with one of my best friends "Guitarist" Geoffrey Cassayre. So it was a very good time. I hope that you will be around to witness more. Because you haven't seen anything yet.

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

     I saw Sebastian play a few months ago here is San Diego @ the Latino Festival for Healthy Heart. I fell in love with his music and talent so much I asked him to perform @ my wedding reception & housewarming party ***

     He is a one man's show and can do wonders with his music, I can't wait to hear him again, I'm certain he will be a great success!

Lucia da Silveira
San Diego, CA 92130

Dear Lucia,

     I enjoyed very much meeting you in San Diego at the Heart Association. I had a good time and I'm very happy that I was able to entertain everyone there. I'm extremely flattered that you have decided to share your special day with me and at the same time allow me to share my music with your friends and family. I really look forward to it and I know we will have a GREAT time with no doubt. Thank you for all your support!

C-ya in April.

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

Hi Sebastian!

     I am your orange-haired, red-nosed, ballon-twisting, biggest fan! (Well... I probably have the biggest feet anyway:) Just sending along a note to cheer you on! YOU GO!!! From the first time I saw you and had the fun of working near you at Shoreline Village I knew you were headed toward a terrific future! Your music is full of excitement and energy and you have been truly gifted. Wishing you all the very best in clown-ese, "BUMP A NOSE!"

Love Ya!
Pickles the Clown


Dear Pickles The Clown,

     What can I say. It's wonderful to hear from you. You are so right. We had a GREAT time at Shoreline Village with all the little kids. The conga line you formed with those kids is a very funny classic memory I have. I'm sure that we will perform side by side again in the future. It will be a blast. I would like to take the time to thank you for supporting me this past year. I'm also very happy that you like my new "Electrified" CD. I look forward to seeing you at one of my shows in the near future.

Thanks again Pickles!

With Love,
Sebastian Sidi

Hola Sebastian!

     Just wanted to let you know how proud I am to know you and your music! I got to know your music real well from listening to it over and over again coming in through my house windows. All those days of practice, etc... Now I have to settle for the CD. You have accomplished so much these last few years and you should be proud! Not very many people can say "they love what they do!" When I see you perform, I can see how much passion and love you have for your music and that makes me smile... In my eyes, music is a gift and should be greatly appreciated. Well, keep up the great work and I look forward to being there as you take the journey to "stardom!" May all your "DREAMS" come true!!!!!!!

Your neighbor,
Angie

Dear - X - Neighbor Angie,

     I thank you for putting up with the loud music not to mention having me as your neighbor as well. Not only did you put up with my music, but you were also there to experience my Drumming days with my band "High Voltage" I know that was not pleasant. But I guess there is a reason for everything. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your sincere support. It is very important to me.

With Much Love,
Sebastian Sidi

      Your music is cool-modern, energetic, with a flavor of the past. It's fun to watch you perform, to put your individual stamp on the songs in your repertoire. In other words, you're not only very, very good, but unique as well. I listen to your CDs as I work or relax in my den. I don't get tired of listening to you as I would most other musicians. Good luck in your career, which I know will take off as more and more people get to know you and your music.

Pete Cavaretta

Dear Pete,

     I would like to thank you for all of your support. It's nice to see you at almost all my shows. Especially knowing you drive so far to see me perform. It's really very flattering. Your presence at my performances really relaxes me and helps me keep confident in regards to my music. It's nice to know that there are people out there passionate about my music just as much as I am. I'm really grateful to have met such a supportive and consistent fan and friend. Thanks you so much.

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

     We saw Sebastian perform last Spring at Shoreline Village and were so impressed with his show we have tried to see all of his performances since then. It is very seldom you find someone who is as talented as Sebastian is. He is truly innovative with his music and is in a class by himself. We have bought all his CDs and are looking forward to when the next one comes out.

Sincerely, Wanda Cavaretta

Dear Wanda,

     Thank you so much for all the support you have given me in the past year. You truly do show the ultimate ideal fan dedication attitude that a performer dreams of. It's nice to see faces at my shows knowing that they are not there by obligation but because they really do enjoy my music.

     Thank you for being there!

Love,
Sebastian Sidi

     Sebastian Sidi's music burns with intensity, passion and grandiosity. In musician lingo it is "super extra large! "

- Jill Hennessy
Singer (Naughty Face and Girls' Night Out)

Dear Jill,

     Thanks for your words. And thanks for your beautiful voice. It has really inspired me to keep doing what I'm doing. Maybe soon we will share the stage with one another. It would be a blast!

     See you at the next Naughty Face Show!

Love,
Sebastian Sidi

     Today I was in my office listening to Electrified. It was still playing when my potential clients came in for our meeting. They said that your music was fantastic and wanted to know who it was. I told them it was Sebastian Sidi and pointed to your picture. They were like, you know that guy??!! I must have gotten that reaction about a dozen times. Then I thought about it, how cool is it that I know you. I listen to your music and am amazed by your talent each time, and then I get to talk to you every day. It seems a little strange to me it's like I'm a huge fan of yours but I also get to call you a #$%#& any time I want to! It's hard to capture in words what's in your heart. Well I'll just say that you are my Scorpions,

     Thank you.

love
Liz

Dear Liz,

      That's such a cool letter you wrote me. You can imagine how flattering it is. I think it's great that you have my music playing in your office, and that you have the opportunity to share it with people that come in. I'm also flattered that you have my picture up there too. Yes, it is very cool that you are a fan of my music but at the same time a very good friend that can share anything with me as well.

     For those who have read Liz's note, the Scorpions are my favorite band of all time and are a huge influence in my music.

     Thanks for being you Liz

Love,
Sebastian Sidi

     Sebastian is a very talented individual! I saw him play at an Inside edge meeting when I went to visit my aunt in California. He is a really nice guy!

~Jen G. Maryville, TN

Dear Jen,

     I was so happy to know that you loved my first CD "Prelude" You actually ordered my New CD "Electrified" all the way from TN. You need to understand how good it feels to know that someone so far away is listening to my music. It really is an incredible feeling. I would like to thank you for giving that to me.

     THANKS!!!!

Love,
Sebastian Sidi

     To everyone and anyone who has read this note. A reminder to all of you, that this is the reason I love to create and share music. A little girl, no older than 11 or 12 sat for over 2 hours listening to me play my music at the Irvine Spectrum tonight Sunday, Feb. 4th 2001. Before she left she slipped me this note. This is really what it is all about. The feeling one gets when someone especially a young child can open up his or her mind and enjoy the gift of music is nothing less than amazing.

     Nicole without the H. Thanks so much for the note & for sitting through 2 hours of my music. I hope you enjoy the CD.

With much love,
Sebastian Sidi (click on image to enlarge)

Hi Sebastian,

     How are you? I hope you are fine. I was so excited when I went on to your web site and saw the note I wrote to you. I was so overwhelmed when I saw it. I am hoping to come see you on the 16th. I love watching you play especially when I see the passion you put into your work. Hey I'm sorry that this is so short but I have to go, the next one will be longer. OK?

     I still wish you all the best of luck and I will stay in touch. See ya later!

     Love always,

Nicole Onopa (no "h":)

P.S. I love your hair

Dear Julie,

     I would like to thank you so much for giving Sebastian the note, it meant a lot to me I hope to stay in touch, I love to talk to people and make lots of friends. I hope to see you again and I will try to come again next time you play around my home town. I love listening to your music. Well I'm sorry this is so short but I will write in a few days I will be writing to SidiMusic tomorrow when get home from school.

     Your friend,

Nicole Onopa (no h)

Dear Nicole (no h),

     Thank you so much for writing! And for attending my debut performance with Sebastian and the gang. It was so much fun and it'll only get better from here! I hope you can make it to the other shows to cheer us on :-P

Always, Julie

Hi Sebastian,

     It was so nice to get a notice that you have a new promoter. It sounds wonderful, and I'm so impressed with the positive attitude predicting great things for you. I really enjoyed the CD you gave me. I'm quite impressed with your talent, and I'm really looking forward to the day when I can say, "I knew him when he was just a troublemaker in high school." (I hope you're laughing).

     Keep me posted about what's going on in your career.

Sincerely,
Karen Pearman
Downey High

Dear Karen, or as I remember you Mrs. Pearman.

     Your letter is such a surprise. Thanks for being there during my High School days as a SUPER COUNSELOR. I think I spent more time in your office than in class. But that's OK.

     I think that considering I did not go to college, I turned out all right. I'm very happy doing what I'm doing, and I'm especially happy that you are proud of my accomplishments. Thanks so much for everything, and I'm so glad you enjoy my music. There's more to come!!!!

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

Sebastian,

     Your music rocks! I love the new album with the Latin twist. I hope to hear more salsa rock in the future. You have a unique modern sound all your own, I look forward to your up and coming years as you expand your sound with live musicians.

     I especially look forward to the opportunity to hear live drums and percussion on your future albums. Your a real inspiration to other musicians. Keep up the passion for your music and continue to follow your talent.

Kevin Arnett

Dear Kevin.

     Thanks for your fan mail. I'm glad you appreciate the technical details of my music. We have a lot in common in terms of music. Being that we are both drummers, we tend to be very picky in terms of rhythm. You will definitely hear some live drums & percussion in the next album "Passion"

     Thanks for your support and keep on ROCK'N

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

     I was in awe the first time I saw Sebastian Sidi perform. He is so YOUNG to have perfected his talent in music! Sebastian has the perfect combination of talent (in many areas), warmth, compassion, and friendliness. He quickly became my new friend, encouraging me to pursue MY talents. Performers I've known had always kept their distance, favoring some people over others, but not Sebastian. As a young man, he has all the qualities that I can admire, look up to, & aspire to be.

-Renee Alter-

Dear Renee,

     It was also a pleasure meeting you. It is most interesting that you are somewhat on the same boat as I am, trying to fulfill your artistic goals. I'm sure as long as we stick by our guts and work hard, we can accomplish more than we think. Good luck with everything!!! And thanks for your support!

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

 

A Poem By Renee Alter

-People-

I flip through the photographs
of my life's memories
so many people I've known
who have come and gone
mere acquaintances with the
hope of permanent relationships
but alas, like angels
passing other angels to chat --
to pass a message on --
they fade away
places
so many places
I have gone
so many photos I have
captured memories with
so many people here and gone.
 

Sebastian~

     I received your E-mail with regard to upcoming performances and actually took some time to look at your website~ My compliments Sebas - it is a wonderful site that I think truly captures your energy~

     Though I have not attended a live performance (even with your constant ribbing), I think I am possibly the luckiest of 'Sidi' fans because I had the opportunity to witness 'The early days in Santa Ana'. In a room sound proofed by pieces of egg crates and laden with guitars,drums, cowbells, maracas, and the first keyboard, you would sit for hours on end and create some of the songs that made it onto the Prelude album~ Needless to say, I don't feel that much could compare to that very special time though I have no doubt that your performances are amazing and that your playing and composing has been perfected over the past few years. We knew three or so years ago that you would be an amazing performer because the music is your passion and it shows in everything that you do and create~ so I am not surprised that you have people writing you such wonderful letters telling you how they love your music, because a passion like yours is infectious in the best possible way~ I am however very proud and fortunate to have been one of the first 'fans' & I remain, a tride and true Sebastian groupie!

-Gabriella Twigg

Dear Gabriella,

     Thanks for your letter. It took you long enough, but late is better than never right? Maybe if I pay you enough, I will have the honor of having you participate as an audience member at one of my performances. "One can only hope" Well what can I say? You're letter is very touching and very heart felt. I too remember those days in my trusty music studio. It was my / our place. It is amazing how you were RIGHT THERE through almost every single note that I composed. You always gave me confidence in what I did and helped me to keep creating. Although the title Track "Gabriella" has not yet made it to any of my CD's, you're song always remains with me. Although, you may take credit for inspiring me to compose "The Last Fire". Thank you Gabriella for being there in the beginning where it was most important. Thank you for giving me confidence to keep going and to take steps forward.

     Like you, I too am very proud and fortunate to have such a heart felt fan as yourself.

With Much Love,
Sebastian Sidi

Dear Rebecca,

     Thank you very much for your letter. Too bad you could not be at the last performance with you're good friend Nicole. We had a good time. Thanks again for you're kind words, and be sure that I will always follow my heart and my dreams but only if you promise to do the same.

With Love,
Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi (click on image to enlarge)

Sebastian,
What a treat to see you on the cover of Downey Magazine this morning. I read the story and immediatly called my wife at work to tell her so she could read it when she gets home. It was a facinating story with insight about the musical journey you've taken. I wish you continued success and happiness on your musical path. I'm sure this story is only one of the many yet to come so take a moment and relish the joy and absorbe this inspiring day where so many will come to know Sebastian Sidi. I must say that I was saddened to read of the loss of your mother, both of my parents are still here and I visit them often so I know that I could never comprehend the loss of either one of them. But I have this strange philosophy and that is "I feel each of us must experience everything we've been through to make us who we are today. If any one of those things are missing we would be someone different". You've turned out to be a pretty good guy and I'm sure everyone is proud of you. I knew from our first conversation that you're a straight shooter and you speak from the heart, a quality so rare in todays world. Then comes your music, which allows the rest of us to explore your love for life and your passion for music. You have a very special gift my friend and it is very powerful. When you sit behind that keyboard you completely captivate your audience, "your music changes the way people think, feel and live their lives" what a great gift. It's no different than listening to the president speak or a king, or listening to that "old dying hindu" sitting on top of a mountain somewhere, you are equally as powerful with those melodies. Your musical message brings joy, peace and happiness to those that listen. I thank you for sharing your creativity. My wife and I will be at BB Kings to give you a listen and we're looking forward to it, I'll have to call you so I can pick up some tickets, I think your local, I'm in Downey near Stonewood. As a police officer of 18 years you're a refreshing experience in todays world. I continually tell my two daughters that their dreams can be realized with a committment from the heart, you're a perfect example of that. Thank you for being who you are.
Your friend and fellow musician,
Dan Romo

Hi Sebastian,

     For weeks now I have wanted to sit down and write this letter. I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your music. At my office your music is playing a lot and no one ever gets tired of it. Sometimes it's nice to just relax and listen to it and other times you want to get out of your seat and dance. What I think I like most about it is that every song is original and you wrote all of them! You are very talented and I'm glad my boss bumped into your music, we'd really be missing out if we never would have heard it. I haven't gotten to a live performance yet but next month I'll be there! I can't wait to see everything live it will probably sound like a whole new set of songs. Well, thanks for doing what you do Sebastian because so many people like me enjoy it so much.

Always,
Abigail

Hello Abi,

     Thanks so much for your fan mail. It's so cool to know that my music gets you off you're seat. That's what it's for. It would be great to meet you at one of my performances next month. If you have to pick a date, I recommend Saturday, March 3rd. I will have the band with me. They are really making this stuff sound good. Thanks again for you're support and for your letter.

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

     Hi...my name is Ana and i'm not only a friend of sebastian sidi, but a fan :) I've been privileged enough to have sat in on some private performances and some of his more public ones as well...and he rocks!! Whether in front of a packed venue or in front of a small group of people, he doesn't hold back. You can feel the passion and energy that drives him and his music...he is without a doubt a musical genius. He is to new age music what emily dickinson is to poetry...Sebastian creates emotions and pictures through his music...he is absolutely amazing to see perform. Sebastian not only rocks...he rolls!!!....

Ana Cervántez-Cea

Dear Ana,

     Thanks for your mail. Yes indeed, you have been around since the early days. I'm glad you have been there to enjoy my music and to witness the growth of my career. It's with the help of my true fans that will make it possible for me to succeed.

     Again, thanks for the fan mail & your support.

With Love,
Sebastian Sidi

     I appreciate your musical talent. Unfortunately I am just a 19 year old kid who can't further your career other than by purchasing your cd and voicing my interest. I write music in private and am grateful you have stuck your neck out to allow others to either enjoy it or criticize it.

Your friend,
Scott

Hello Scott,

     I take it that you saw my performance at the Irvine Spectrum. . . I'm glad that you enjoyed my music and I thank you for purchasing my CD. I hope you liked it. I think it is VERY cool that you compose music of your own. It's really a very rewarding feeling, so do not let anyone ever discourage you from doing what you love.

Your new friend,
Sebastian Sidi

Dear Sebastian Sidi,

     I have heard some of your music and think it's really great. I live in Bakersfield, CA (up North about 2 hours from LA) and I was wondering if you could do a show all of the way up here. I know you're from Los Angeles and it's a long way so I just thought I'd ask. You're a very good piano player and I do like your music very much and my daughter thinks you are the cutest guy to walk this earth! Thank you Sebastian, I appreciate the time it took to read this.

Sincerely,
Sylvia Snyder

Dear Sylvia,

     Your letter is very flattering. I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my music. It means a lot. For some reason it feels extra special because you are 2 hours away. Just knowing my music is a distance away from me just brings me a very nice feeling. It's very hard to explain. To answer your question, I am open to perform anywhere and at anytime. I would especially like to perform in Bakersfield being that I have never been there before. As for your daughter Amy. I'm sure she is the cutest 12 year old girl in Bakersfield. A surprise awaits her.

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

Dear Sebastian,

     I just received my copy of your new CD. I am "Electrified"! You have a great talent. Your new work proves the music just keeps flowing! "Electrified" is upbeat and exciting with just enough Latin Spice to make it tasty. I can't wait to hear you live. I hope when you tour you will visit Atlanta. Good luck to you in future project.

James Bell

Dear James,

     I want to thank you for all of your support throughout the past year. For all who are reading this, James is a person I met over the net. He helped me create my first biography. He took the time to sit down, and interview me via net, and mailed out my first Bio and review on my first CD "Prelude". He has been a huge help and really helped me with my first important steps.

     Thanks James. I'm so glad that you enjoy my new material. I promise that it's only going to get better.

Sincerely,
Sebastian Sidi

     Hi Sebastian this is Amy from Bakersfield. My mom tells me to say thank you  when people do something nice for me and you did something really nice for me. Thank you for the picture it's very good just like Lizs. Thank you for signing it too it's on my wall at home. I think your songs are very pretty I like when I have lessons because I get to hear them in Lizs room. Sometimes we all dance to them and that's very fun. Thanks for my picture and thanks for making songs.

Love Amy

Dear Amy,

     You are most welcome for the picture and the songs. I'm glad you like my music and I'm very happy to know that you have fun dancing to some of them. Maybe you can ask your good friend Liz to bring you down to one of my shows. Then we can all dance together.

     Hope to see you soon.

Love,
Sebastian Sidi

Bro,

     I couldn't sleep, so I logged on to check out your website again and see the latest changes. I love the pictures. I can't say enough about your fan mail. It almost made me cry to see how many people's lives you've touched with your music. Just imagine how your music inspired all those fans to take time out of their day to write you. I think that's amazing, I love it. You know, after all these years, all your efforts and sacrifices, all your learning and growth, all the band members you tried out and dropped, all the gazzillion hours of composing and rewritting, and you got the best return you could possibly expect - a hell of a loyal audience. Bro, these fans are going to be with you forever. And this is just the beginning. What I thought was a hobby for you turned out to be your life, and I'm so proud of you. You've done more with your career in the past 2 years than most people I know in the last 10. It's so exciting to think of my little brother as a star, you know, you're a ROCKSTAR. Everytime someone asks what my brother does for a living, first I think of garments, then I kick myself and say, "my bro is a musician, he's a composer, he's a drummer, he masters the keyboard, released 2 CDs, and if that weren't enough he plays guitar and bass, too!, and all without a single hour of instruction." Remember that 1998 video at the Spectrum I taped? I had my friends at work glued to the monitor when I brought in the CD. Bro, you're accomplished so much since we moved out of Santa Ana, I still can't believe it. In the time other guys take a course at the JC, you got a PhD in rockin'. I play your CD to friends and they think I bought it at Tower, then I show them your dedications inside the cover. Sorry, but I have to show it off. Sometimes I brag about doing the layout for Prelude. I think it was so cool to be part of your first CD. I still have an old tape from xmas 1995 when you played Crazy Train with High Voltage. Well bro, this computer is finally putting me to sleep. I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you for all you've done for yourself with your talent and for our family. You really stepped up and took care of things like I knew you could. You're the best I only wish I could be closer so I could make it to all your gigs. Take care, and see you in two weeks.

I love you,

Your big bro

     I heard him playing at the Horton Plaza a few weeks ago. I heard, I followed, I bought the CD. I am very interested in getting his/your next one.comment: when I play the CD did I wish that there were more slower compostions in it. Most are very fast and after a while, I start to get a little nervous. More slow ones, please. You are very talented. Your music makes me feel like I’m listening to an old friend…very old, another time, another place.

Thank you for the beauty of your expressions. Sc

Dear Sebastian - I have been a fan of yours for so long now; seems funny that I am just now writing a letter for the web site fan mail!

I have been so enthralled by your music since I first "discovered" you one weekend at Fashion Island nearly two years ago. I heard you playing from a great distance & was just drawn to the sound - I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Your music is exciting & beautiful and you are so creative & talented. I've come to your performances every chance I get since then -- which is a bit of an accomplishment, since I live in Denver! But I've managed to arrange my work schedule so that I'm in California as often as I can be, when you are performing. How fortunate for your fans who live in the LA area who can see your every performance!

Keep up the great work - I love (and own) all three of your CDs and I wish you much success, which you RICHLY deserve.

Your #1 fan from Colorado -

Lana.

Hey Sebastian,
    What's up buddy? I just wanted to tell you. Your new CD Passion. I really loved it. And the pictures of your family and Girlfriend is really cool as well I loved the CD so much. I hope you don't mind this at all. I work at a radio station out here and I played some of the songs on your CD and people really loved it and they call up and ask me who I just played? And I told a really great friend of mined his name is Sebastian Sidi. And they told me he is really good. And we wish himall the luck. So, Sebastian I also wish you luck. And I hope to see you again when I come down there and Visit ok. So, take care ok and I will always love ya. 


Love Always,
 Virginia Cano

Sandra Diaz

Dear Sebastian,

I really did enjoy your concert at the Downey Theater.  I am so impressed with your talent.  I predict great success for you in the future.  Thank you for the tickets.  Next time, I'll buy them.  Sorry I wasn't able to stay after the show to talk.
Sincerely,

Karen Pearman

Sebastian -

I really enjoyed your show and it was worth fighting the traffic in Hollywood go get to Downey.  :-)

Your mother must be so very proud of you.  When you have the time, contact me so that we may discuss things in further detail. 

Best,

Rhonda

Hey there,
The pleasure was all mine dogg.  Your new CD is all up my alley.  I LOVE IT!!!!  I told you....I like it when you do ballots.  Anyway.  My neices and nephew loved the concert as well.  You did a great job.  Good for you!
Love ya!
LL

Hi Sebastian,

     I am one of Pickles friends and got to go to your WONDERFUL concert on Saturday and loved it!!!!!  I am sooooooooooooooooooooo glad I finally got to see you, because... Pickles (Becky) talks such wonderful things about you and anyone that is her friend has listened to your CD's. You really had me thinking about myself and my clowning and taking that next step forward to do my one woman show. It has been written for two years now but I'm afraid to move forward. If you can do what you did on Saturday I can do it to...So thank you, keep moving forward your a good man and it really showed. With a clown smile...Linda PJ Hulet  www.pjtheclown.com

Hi Sebastian.  My mom (pickles) gave me your email address.  I just wanted
to say a quick hello and to tell you that it was very nice to meet you
finally.

I remember when my mom told me she met you and how great you two hit it
off...it was interesting to hear stories and listen to your CD, literally
like everytime I walked into her house.  I never really took the time to sit
and REALLY listen to your music, but after going to your concert and feeling
the emotion and stories told by your songs, I am hooked. I don't think your
CD has stopped playing since your concert on Saturday.  In the car, in my
house, at my work.  As you can tell I enjoy your music very much.

Keep up the great work and know that you are touching lives everywhere.

Sincerely,

Megan (Goodyear) Denny

Hey Sebastian,

I have known you for quite sometime now and have heard a lot of your talents
- starting in church on the drums, then in High Voltage and now on your own.
You have grown as a person and a musician.  I aspire to be like you - to
follow all my dreams and make them come true.  You are truly the most talent
person I know.  I play your music at home, in the car and in the office -
now that I have all 3 of your CD's.  When someone asks about the music I
brag that I know you and that you used to come to my house and play for me
and sometimes my mom.  Just think a private piano/keyboard concert from the
one and only Sebastian Sidi.  I must be lucky.  I am glad that we have met
and remained friends over these 9 years or so.  Continue in what you love.
Thanks for keeping me at my piano and letting people know that - - - Dreams
do come true!!!!

Your Friend
Jennifer Tessier Johnson

P.S.  The concert was great!  When will the next one be?

Sebastian:
 
Your show last Saturday was awesome!  I have enjoyed seeing you come up through the ranks, and each time Marsha and I saw you perform, you seemed to gain more poise and confidence.  You have paid your dues, my friend, and I sincerely hope that the Downey Theater show was the beginning of the big time for you.
 
Marsha says this was your best performance ever, and I agree.  She wants to know if this means she won't have to freeze her butt watching you outside in the cold again (ha, ha).  She has loved your music from the first, as I think everyone does who hears it.  She also commented that I looked like a proud papa during the show.  Well, as I said to you Saturday, I couldn't be prouder of you if you were my own son.
 
Others might have been discouraged by enduring what you've been through, but you have the strength and savvy to know that ours is not an easy business, and you have to start small and work your way up. 
 
Sebastian, you've come a long way, and the top of the mountain is not much further for you.  I believe that as soon as people outside of California hear your work, a lot of doors will open for you.  Superstardom is in your future.  You have too much talent for any other outcome.  I am also doubly glad that your parents are able to see your success.  I am saddened that mine are no longer here to see what I have accomplished, but your success compensates for that.
 
Continued success to you, and my best wishes to your parents and Mercedes.  Also, please extend my congratulations to your band on a superb performance.
 
Sincerely,
        Chief Jack


Oh, dear Sebastian -- thanks for inviting me!!! You absolutely blew me away - you sounded so good & you are a *natural* on stage!!!! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your performance. I loved you playing the baby grand .... and your new CD is most excellent!! It's my favorite so far  :-)

You seemed a bit overwhelmed after the show when everybody was "rushing" you, so I didn't hang around to corner you. That's why I just rushed up, stole a hug from you and had you sign my new CD. By the way, my girlfriend who I brought with me was really impressed with you - I just smugly said "I told you so" (haha).

Could you do a personal kindness for your #1 fan from Colorado? I'd love to have an autographed picture from you - personalized, of course.

Say, tell me about your address on Quill Drive - is it a small studio that you've leased, or a new business address, or what?

Congratulations, Sweetie ---- you're on your way!!!!

Your #1 fan from Colorado -

Lana.


OH-MY-GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU WERE SO AWESOME LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU DID KNOCK EM DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I woke up this morning your music was still running through my brain.  You have every right to be soooo proud of your performance and the way the show was put together!  I heard not ONE negative word the whole night (and I was listening to comments intentley).  The opener was very effective.  Your black coat was a great choice.  The way you moved between instruments was done very well also. Your band ABSOLUTELY came through for you. AND everyone could tell you were having fun up there!  Summing it up I would say, " Your Passion during the performance Electrified the crowd and I am sure it was but a Prelude to bigger and better things to come!"

Gotta share this with you:  One of Greg's employees bought a CD last night and then got your autograph.  She was determined to get the autograph because she wanted one before you become famous because in her words,"He IS going to be famous!"

Kiddo, you "wowed" em all.
Stay true to yourself and your dream!

Love,
Pickles


Sebastian,

We really enjoyed the performance last night. Wonderful show.  Hope they'll be more coming in the near future!

Joan, Ray & Samantha


Mi queridisimo amigo...
Let me tell you, it was a fantastic experience for me to get back on stage after 22 years (almost as long as you've been around )! For this, I thank you. For affording me the opportunity to once more do what I love most. I think the show went extremely well. Very professional and you were, of course ... terrific. You are on your way to being a household word. It may take a few months or a few years but I have complete confidence that you will be an international star before too long. As soon as that video gets edited and if you're going to reproduce it as VHS or DVD ... if you need graphics for the cover of anything ... you know that all you have to do is let me know. A band situation creates a familiar bond between people which transcends gender, race and age... I think all of you guys are great and I'm honored and thankful for having been able to share this musical experience with you all. Again ... thanks. You're one of a kind.
Abrazos

BRAVO----WOW, IT WAS VERY ENLIGHTING AND VERY MOVING...MY CHILDREN LOVED IT
TOO!!!! THE DANCERS WERE AWESOME!!! THANKS FOR THE GREAT SEATS TOO---WE WERE
3RD ROW!!!!

TO MR. SEBASTIAN SIDI,

MY DAUGHTER CAME HOME ONE DAY AND BROUGHT HOME ONE OF YOUR CD. AT FIRST I WAS RELUCTANT TO LISTEN TO IT, SINCE ALL OF THE MUSIC SHE LISTENS TO ARE ALTERNATIVE SONGS, AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, IT WAS GETTING TO BE NERVE WRACKING, SPECIALLY WHEN SHE PLAYS IT EVERYDAY. ANY HOW, SHE HAD TOLD ME THAT SHE MET YOU AT THE MALL AND PURCHASED YOUR CD AND CAME HOME WITH YOUR AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE AS WELL.  I WAS VERY SURPRISED BY THE MUSIC THAT I HEARD.  IT WAS INOVATIVE, FRESH AND RELAXING.  I LOVED IT SO MUCH THAT I TORTURE MY DAUGHTER WITH IT EVERYDAY.  IT'S NOT EVERYDAY THAT MUSIC SUCH AS YOURS  COMES OUT AND BE APPRECIATED BY THE YOUNGER GENERATION. WELL, NEEDLESS TO SAY, SHE NOW APPRECIATES THE ECLECTIC SOUND OF YOUR MUSIC.  I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT.  I JUST WISH THAT YOU COULD ADD SOME LYRICS TO SOME OF YOUR SONGS. IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER CD COMING OUT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. GOOD LUCK

    MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS PRINCESS_CJ1950@YAHOO.HOTMAIL.COM

WISHING YOU THE BEST,

CECILE A. B. JAMES (C.J.)

Dear Mr. Sebastian,

I had the weird happenstance to receive your email today, with the website link. I usually don't even click on these things, but there was something about this email that told me I should take a look. I was so blown away, not only by your music and your obvious passion for self-expression and creativity, but also by your humility and realness about what you do! I, too, am a pianist/composer... and, yes, I too have a website (www.suztoonz.com), and after listening to your mp3 files, I recognized your melodies, and I feel almost like I know you. Obviously I don't, and it is pretty weird to have people listen to your music and say that, wouldn't you agree? I say that because I know from my own experience with my first cd release this past fall. (It's titled "Freefall.") I can't even begin to tell you how much I feel fulfilled in having created something that can make a difference to other people. It's overwhelming sometimes, I think.

Anyway... I wanted to write to you and tell you that although I have never seen you play and I live WAY up in Seattle and don't have the pleasure of knowing your talent, I am affected by your success. We are indeed all connected in this universe. :-)
I just played piano and sang live for the very first time 10 days ago. I have since played again and know the feeling of being a little anxious to be on stage! I am a music teacher and am used to being in front of an audience, but it's still an "acquired addiction," as it were. I love music and the people I am meeting from these performances. The musicians and fans are so amazing and make me glad to be alive and able to share what I feel finally! My confidence is now starting to take me to a completely different level of personal growth, both as a teacher and as a musician.

Mr. Sebastian, I wish you all the success that you will surely create for yourself. You seem like a good person, as well as a thoughtful musician. Your star is already shining for you... I can see it from here, even!

Musically Yours,
Suzanne Strickland
Seattle, WA

Hi Sebastian Sidi. I had the pleasure of seeing your show on saturday night. Loved it! I was in town and my sis had tickets to your show but couldn't go. She heard about you in the paper a while a go but never heard your stuff. So my boyfriend and I went and I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was, only because I didn't know what kind of music it would be. I figured you would have a website and luckily your name worked, then I saw the mail section so I thought I'd send you an e-mail.

I sat near this pretty young woman and during the course of the show she would sometimes look to the side and i could see that she had tears running down her face. The first thing I thought was, wow he must get all the hot chicks in a band like this! Then I thought how neat that was that you could inspire that much emotion in her. how moving that you could make her cry. So i just wanted to say that I loved the show and I think everyone in the place did too. I liked the band, the lights, the sound, and your performance.  So overall I give you an A+ keep doing what you're doing!

Sincerely,
Vanessa

Dear Sebastian,

We so enjoyed your concert.  My daughter and her friend gave it the thumbs up.  I was so touched to see your mother at the event and WOW --- when you gave her the roses after you played her song.  What more could a mother ask for in a son.  You are a great musician, entertainer, thoughtful guy.  I always wish you the best and look forward to seeing you on one of the late night television shows sometime soon.

Congratulations on a wonderful, entertaining performance --- the room was filled with everyone enjoying the evening.

Sincerely,
Susan

FAN MAIL FROM APRIL 26th DOWNEY THEATRE

Hi Sebastian,
  You were absolutely  AWESOME.  Our whole family enjoyed your show very much,  which says your entertainment is wonderful
for all ages.  Keep up the good work,  we are looking forward to seeing you again soon.
                                                      Love,  Wanda & Pete
                                                                                     ( Cavaretta )Dear Sebastian,

I want to thank you for another great  performance.  Again, it was an evening to remember. Some of my friends and family were in attendance and they were very much impressed with  the show and especially your talent.As my friend Diana commented" It only gets better." I really liked the way you used the lights.The show was really fantastic.You and your band exemplify your love and passion for music.You are truely a gifted and talented musician.Your new fans have asked me to let them know when you perform again.Blessings and continued success....Sincerely, Lucy

Your time, hard work and love of music makes your show that much more
enjoyable. EXCELLENT!

Always a pleasure to see you perform.Your band just keeps on getting better
For them (and you) to keep your music sounding as fresh today as it did the first time I heard you is a rousing tribute to your talent. See that spotlight? That's your star, my friend, and it will always shine for you, leading you to bigger and better things

Christi Libay, your opening/warmup act on April 26, is herself a great talent and having her exposed to your fan base is a wonderful first step in what should be a brilliant career for her

This was your best show ever in my humble opinion.  Marsha and our daughter Dacia, who saw you live for the first time Saturday at the Downey Theatre both agree that your stage presence is awesome.  We're proud to have seen you come up through the ranks from those performances in the cold outside with only a dozen or so fans listening, to being a headliner such as you now are, filling a large auditorium

Chief Jack and Marsha
 

Hi Sebastian:

I had the opportunity to enjoy your WHOLE SHOW!  I was lucky to find someone
who could work at the store Saturday evening with my husband, so I could
attend.  My friend and I had a wonderful time.

We noticed how much the very young as the older adults enjoyed the
performance.  The young singer who opened the show is very talented.  You
and all the members of your group were excelent and it shows how much you
work and how much you enjoy playing together your wonderful music.

We comented how natural all of you acted...very refreshing...

CONGRATULATIONS AND THE BEST TO YOU ALL!

Rosa

We loved your show.  Frank, Shawn, Nancy and myself.
YOu are very much of a SHOWMAN.
I love you on stage. So much energy and
karisma. Fell in love all over again.
WOW!!!!
Nice job.
Marsi

I thoroughly enjoyed the concert Sat. evening. It was an outstanding
performance. You had a very nice group of family and friends in attendance.
I  was happy to be able to be a part of your concert and the rembrance of
your mother. Thank you.

Hola Sebas...

impresionante, maravilloso, trascendente.

es todo lo que te puedo decir del recital.

A Connie y a mi nos encanto. Vimos a German y Karla pero como
teniamos otro compromiso despues del concierto, nos fuimos ni bien
terminaste.

tu innovacion de agregar a tu primo con guitarra espanola fue muy linda
es buen musico tambien. me imagino el cagazo que tenia pero se defendio
bien.

Carinos al viejo. y disculpame que no los pudimos saludar en persona.


Daniel y Connie.

Dear Sebastian:

I LOVED your concert. You are an amazing multitalented artist and your music creates high-energy and enthusiasm in your audience! You have quite a stage presence! Everyone on their feet and clapping created an environment of excitement and joy. Leaving your concert I felt as though I was walking three feet off the ground!

Thank you for your gift of music to the world and all of us who are inspired by your music!

Dr. Lois Nightingale


PS: I wanted you to know your mother's presence could be felt in the auditorium. What a wonderful tribute to a woman who obviously inspired you so much! I also wanted to comment on your generosity to the members of your back-up. You obviously are wonderful to work with as you are so dedicated to each of them pursuing to the fullest, and exhibiting to the highest degree, their own musical talents. You obviously are very confident in your own presence and your own gifts and it shows in your generous spirit. I also spoke to Kathy from "Kathy's Balloons" ad in your program. She is a friend of mine. I told her she advertised and sponsored a great performance! Keep me posted as to upcoming events.

Sebastain,

I really enjoyed your show.  It was very professional.  You are not waiting for someone to discover you.  You are doing the stuff to get in front of people.  Everyone wants the rewards, but most people are not willing to do what it takes.  You are more than willing to do what it takes.  Keep up the HARD work.

Steve Roberson

Sebastian, where are you from? I met Derrick at a house party about a month
ago. Believe it or not, this party was in Huntington Beach & not a spanish
soul was there, however, he mentioned your band and asked that I come out to
see you guys. What a coincidence. Come to find out, everyone I heard
speaking there on Saturday night spoke w/ an argentinian accent. My mom is
argentinian. That is so funny to me. Who would've thought? Anyway, I just
thought I'd share that w/you. My mom & I really enjoyed the band & we will
be inviting other friends to go with us next time. When is the next time you
will be playing by the way? Thanks for your time, Karina. Chau.

Hi. Your concert was great. Loved how you broke it up and gave every one solos. Your cousin is beautiful! Pat, Kevin and Cindy thought it was great. Geoff really came out of his "shy shell" this time and his solos could be heard. Pat was whistling really loud for him. He called out his name too. Did Geoff hear that?

On another note...I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I had no idea.  I know how you feel though. My mom passed away when I was 18. If you ever need to talk to one who truly understands call me. 
Love, me.

I hardly know where to begin with comments about the concert.  That self-conscious, sort of shy guy who doesn't like speaking to the audience was ABSOLUTELY NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!  I'm not saying you suddenly LIKE public speaking but it certainly appeared that way in your performance.  I was amazed at how you have matured as a performer and it was a PERFORMANCE in every way.  You seemed at ease and having fun.  The show had variety (well thought out and choreographed) and the drummer even wore a shirt!   :)   We did not just sit and listen to music but we were entertained.  I loved the new arrangements!  Loved your choices of costuming too.  I was so proud of you!!!!!  YOU WERE FLYING LAST NIGHT BABE!!!  You have come a long way and will only continue to improve with time and all your hard work. 
Lots of love!
Becky

I was recently in Downtow Disney on Thursday March 30, 2006. I absolutely loved the music and bought the complete set. Look forward to seeing him again soon and booking later. ~p

Hi there, first of all I have to say this is one of the most beautiful CD's I've purchased in a long time. I heard you outside in the Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga Calif. I have Desperate Journey. Time to say goodbye is my favorite but I love all the piano..Thank you ...

April 27, 2003: Something different musically Last night I was invited to check out a different kind of musical experience then I’m use to. My first question was “what kind of music does he play?” and my second question was “where will the show be?”… I was told “it’s hard to explain but it’s kind of jazz with a mix of classical and modern without any vocals” and “it will be at the Downey Theatre”. I was kind of nervous with such a vast description and “no vocals” but I decided to go for it and check it out. It was going to be a 50/50 chance if I liked it. All I can say is WOW!!! It was nothing like I was expecting. The artist/band name is “Sebastian Sidi”. Basically the band consists of the following instruments and people: Piano/Keyboards (Sebastian Sidi), Percussion (Eric Samson), Drums (Derrick Pontier), Guitar (Geoff Cassayre), Mike Roper (Bass Guitar), Flute (Sharlin Darlin), Violin (Aurisa Smolarski). In Sabastian’s bio he says “Throughout the years I’ve played various genres of music: Rap, Rock, Latin, Heavy Metal & Even played for a Church”. The stage was set up like a major rock concert which was a good start with lots of lighting, lasers, ramps to run up and down, smoke machine, huge speakers and lots of other cool musical “stuff”. My seat was third row center! I could not have asked for a better seat. The music totally rocked… drums thundered, guitar had solid rhythms and screaming leads… the keyboards were also very good… he even played on a Grand Piano which was really cool. The whole band totally clicked as a team and everyone sounded so good! Even the sound mix was right on… no one over powered anyone. They played non-stop from 8:30pm until 12:30am with only one 10 minute intermission. Even everyone did a solo and the drummer and percussionist had a battle… it was so cool! One of the highlights of the night was meeting with whole band and getting them all to sign a cd for me… hehe… I’m such a groupie

Hello Sebastian Sidi, my name is christy and i love your music. I also play piano and i love your music. i saw you performe at Universal City Walk and thats when i bought all three of your cd's. I love Ode To Fur Elise. i learned how to play it. I'm trying to learn Miriam for mothers day because my mom likes to hear me play and i thought it would be nice to play that song for her on mothers day. i just liked to say thank you for inspiring me with your music and i hope you continue to make more and more records. I'm hoping to see you performe tomorrow in long beach. but it might be difficult because i live far from long beach. good luck in your performance and i hope you can inspire other people with your music the way you've inspired me. Thank you so much. -Sincerely Christy

Hi there, I just wanted to send you a little note...we bought 2 of your CDs from City Walk. We were on a month long vacation, and L.A. was just one of the stops, we were driving all over for the rest of our vacation, as well as a cruise. We listened to your CDs on our long hours of driving and we really enjoyed the music...you see he navigates while I drive, but he tends to tell the driver what to do and eventually we end up having a tiff. But with your beautiful music playing, I have to say that we hardly argued... Thank you. That made our trip all the more enjoyable. Aloha, Danielle

I Heard Sebastian at Disney Land. What a great pianist. …Thank you for the added music to my life’s pleasures. Thank you for remembering my name when I came back to listen to more music…..I was the one in the power scooter who you were talking to while taking down your equipment….. Thank you again….. Sandy

Dear Sebastian, What a wonderful experience to see you perform at Victoria Gardens last weekend. I cant explain the feeling your music sends. It is very refreshing to see such young talented people as yourself giving their heart and soul to the music. What I truly loved about you is that you take the time to talk about what you love with your fans and your wonderful personality. It comes through your music. I really enjoy listening to you and love to see you perform. Its well... Electrifying! I play your CD's everywhere I go and even in my barn. My horses love it. I am picking one particular song to do freestyle dressage with. :-) It is the perfect combination. I wish you nothing but the best and hope you reach all goals that you aspire to. Good luck to you and your crew as well. Thank you for the wonderful music and hope you never stop creating it. I am a forever loyal fan.

Sincerely, Tia Thomas

p.s. You were right I purchased more CD's from your website as you thought I would!

Greetings Sebastian! I still remember the first time I heard your music. It was many years ago at the OC Swap Meet. Your music filled the air with such beauty that I followed it until I met you. I bought your "Prelude" CD, and you gave me an autograph picture of you. You've come such a long way! Sorry I missed you at Shoreline Village this summer.

Today I have your "Electrified" and "Passion" CDs. I would like to dedicate one of my favorite songs "Destiny" to a friend of mine whose birthday is August 30th.

Happy Birthday, Mz. Liz. Have a "Destiny" of a year!
