An Art Rock band with an epic, fictional concept that serves as the backdrop to their musical landscape.

SIOS looks to break barriers and leave their mark in and beyond the music world. The band is made up of four self-taught individuals who go above and beyond to create an eclectic world; not only through their music, but also through the fictional concept they have created to serve as the backdrop to their sound. During an uncertain period in his life, lead guitarist Christian “Enigma” Cruz decided to reach out to former guitar student and band mate Phillip “Dice” Defreitas, to begin a new band with the goal of reaching millions of people and sharing their unique ideas with the world.

I am a huge fan of 60?s and 70?s progressive rock and I also have a special place in my heart for experimental folk. Something about these styles of music captures my imagination and interest.
