“I just want to make music that can take you somewhere, hopefully you’ll wanna come with me,” August states. Born Dan August Rigo, August caught the music bug early when he saw Michael Jackson's legendary performance of “Billy Jean” on Motown's 25th Anniversary TV show. “I think from that moment music became a permanent fixture in my life" says August.
The Toronto-born August, who taught himself to play keyboards and guitar, and traveled to New York City to meet with producers and record label heads. This led to a slew of written songs for artists such as Justin Bieber, One Direction, Kehlani and Chris Brown just to name a few. He went on to be the vocal coach on America’s Got Talent.
August released his debut album “Music Of My Life” on Manhattan Records/Sony Japan in 2012. The album featured the likes of Busta Rhymes, The Runners, Stereotypes, Da Internz and Boi1da. His epic sophomore album “The Fall Out" brought out a very honest side of August, where he explored his artistry, spoke his mind and made the music he loves. Rigo partnered up with friend and fellow musician Ricky Tillo (guitarist to Lady Gaga) to form production duo TheEGOs.
“The Fall Out” went on to be nominated for a JUNO for Best R&B/Soul Recording. Amongst other singles and Eps, August Rigo recently released the first of an onslaught of new music titled “Don’t Do Drugs”. August Rigo is supporting the single by performing across the continent on the Sweet 290 Tour.
