June is Black Music Month, and theGrio is highlighting some rising singers and songwriters that will be on everyone’s radar soon.
Sebastian Mikael is one of those artists.
The Slip N Slide singer is a transplant from Sweden whose throwback brand of R&B has helped propel his first single,”Last Night,” to the Billboard Top 20. The single’s video has topped two million views on YouTube.
Mikael stopped by theGrio to talk with music editor Kyle Harvey about his break into the business, his life in Sweden, and if he’s ever been friend-zoned by the ladies.
