about
The present, an era saturated with blatant repetition, ideas and concepts so much so that it would seem as if every note has been heard and every song sung. It is no doubt a pleasant surprise to find an individual who does not conform to the now but is defined as the next. The future is August. Born Dan August Rigo, he has been performing and singing since the tender age of 5. However, it wasn't until he saw Michael Jackson's legendary performance of Billy Jean for Motown's 25th anniversary that he knew what his life calling was. He studied his new idol and in so developed a sound and style for himself. It didn't stop there. Not feeling satisfied in just being a singer, he taught himself to play piano, guitar and drums. To fully understand August, one only needs to listen and feel his music. Armed with charisma, charm and a knack for the spontaneous, he is a true artist in every sense of the word. In a time where music is lacking in depth and soul, he enters a fresh face and sound to shatter the mold. When he sings he evokes emotion and takes you along for a ride you won't forget. A blend of Pop, R & B and Soul, August turns heads everywhere he is heard. His talent has caught the attention and respect of some of the industries most influential and heavy hitters i.e. Eric Nicks, Sha Money, Irv Gotti, and Chaka Khan just to name a few. Not only a phenomenal singer, August has paralleled his vocal ability with an often overlooked yet powerful skill, songwriting and arrangement.
