Biography

Born and raised in New Jersey, SGAR’s childhood was a combination of beach and city, as he spent a lot of time on the infamous Jersey Shore while also exploring New York City. “It was a good balance to be able to later write about my youth, where I take a lot of inspiration for my music,” he explains. Combining elements of Rock, R&B, Hip-Hop and Lo-Fi, SGAR masterfully weaves together sounds, inspired by artists like Chris Cornell, Twenty One Pilots, The 1975 and David Bowie, with flecks of Prince and songwriter Max Martin. The combination has created a unique, explosive Pop sound unlike most artists out today. His newly inked deal with daMp iNteractive will help push his music forward. His first release, “Don’t Go Outside,” was a double-meaning track dropped in the midst of the pandemic. Soon after, “Signs” & “Warming Up” were released and are equally meaningful. “This is a really special group of songs for me,” he explains, as he penned the songs from the standpoint of someone who was suffering from depression. “Cease & Exist” will set the stage for what’s to come from SGAR’s incredibly bright career. “I just want my fans to feel something,” he humbly advises. “Happy, sad, pissed off, mad, as long as they’re feeling. And if they happen to connect with it, I hope the music stands the test of time with them instead of just being a phase.”
