Hailing from Maryland, but born into a transient family, Saucito credits the geographic activity in his life’s early years as the reason behind the way he views himself in the context of life and music. “I’ve lost a lot of friends [moving around], and I guess that translates to my records; how I can move through songs. I can recognize them as moving spirits that I’m just passing through.” Finding a bolster in music, Saucito took up piano at age 5, inspired by the example of his older brother. He employed a fusion of his lessons in piano, as well as guitar, with a play-it-by-ear technique through the years. His sound ultimately found its way to the ears of world renowned producer, c. Tricky Stewart.

Recorded largely in his parents’ kitchen in Virginia during quarantine, while going through a breakup, Sazón walks us through a personal journey with professional skill. With things like voice memos from his mother, fly-on-the-wall audio of his nights out, and the popping of his favorite rosé interwoven throughout the project, Saucito created a deeply textured tapestry for us to behold. “My actual life has become the fabric of my music. It’s like a clothing line: imagine sweaters with Polaroids of moments in your life.” When asked what he wants people to feel when they’re walking in these rather intimate outfits with him, the “Night Owl” singer replies with a deceivingly simple but controversially approached answer. “Love. Love and light.”
