SeQuoiia

SeQuoiia the artist is Tosh Harris Santiago, an exciting singer and musician from The Bay. Born in San Francisco, SeQuoiia has moved through the Bay Area’s rich artistic scenes including Bboy, Afro-Brazilian, Latin Jazz, Soul, and Rap leaving a trail like a fiery comet. With a wide vocal range, a moving voice and an unparalleled natural feel for rhythm and groove SeQuoiia is young and hungry and finally coming into his own.
Recently graduated from Oakland School for the Arts, filled with confidence and vision, SeQuoiia is traveling to New York with other members of the StarMusic Collective, making a bi-coastal impact and continuing to develop.


SeQuoiia's music deftly slides in and out of Hip Hop, R&B and Afro-Latin styles. He creates a soundscape of high energy, sharp yet dirty Trap beats overlaid with Afro rhythms, often incorporating Latin melodic elements in fresh ways. One hears Brazil, Cuba or West Africa in the subtleties of the layered beats while the tracks fundamentally groove and vibe as soulful hip hop. His extraordinary vocals pull from the roots of Black music and land smack dab in the absolute here and now of contemporary Rhythm and Blues. That’s not to say the songs aren't atmospheric. SeQuoiia's natural and unique feel for production creates deeply emotive passages and moments that border on Afro Futuristic. The result is a sound on the cutting edge of the evolving sophisticated free form R&B and alternative hip hop.
