On the eve of releasing his third album Sergio Sayeg, aka Sessa, is finally feeling comfortable with the idea that this is what he does for a living. But it’s more complicated than that.

With the birth of his son in 2022, he’s also a father and his priorities have flipped, challenging him to find new ways to tap into his creativity and grow as a musician while supporting a family.
