Sitting with a child like smile, a Spiderman comic in his lap, and head phones around his neck, up and coming recording sensation Sizzle dreams of a life in the music industry and he is well on his way.

With a first album already out 22-year-old Sacramento City College student Adam Aldama, known in the music world as Sizzle, looks to the future with a second album due to release this year.

Sizzle, with the classic, innocent boy band look, curly hair perfectly in place, bright eyes, and a smile that never fades he captures the attention of his audience and makes them want more.

With Sizzles greatest passion being a life in music it is no surprise that his debut album, Smooth’n’Hot, sold out in stores around Sacramento.

Sizzle says that he writes all of his own songs, no outside help, just inspiration from those around him.

Sizzle says, “I try to write every day. I write about everything, even if it’s not that great.”

Sizzle says he takes to heart everyone important to him and it shows in his music, his passion is personified in an untitled song written for his grandmother that he performs for select audiences.

Today Sizzle performs at various nightclubs around Sacramento including Tunel 21 and Zokku.

Sizzle is still going to school full-time majoring in art as well as working for The Home Depot on Sunrise Blvd.

Sizzle says, “If my music career doesn’t hit it big, at least I can still be an art teacher and do something I love.”

Sizzle’s younger brother, 19-year-old Alex Aldama says, “I didn’t expect him to take a music career seriously growing up, but now that he’s actually doing it and it’s going alright, I’m proud of him.”

Sizzle says, “I like to keep everything radio friendly.”

Sizzle often sings using reference to his favorite video game and cartoon characters such as Super Mario and the Ninja Turtles.

Sizzle says that he likes to sing about things that he likes to remember.

Sizzle says, “My favorite memory growing up was playing video games with my little brother all the time.”

Avid listener of Sizzle 24-year-old Sharea Ahmed says that she likes that he’s able to sing, rap, and make clever lines using familiar aspects of most people’s lives.

Ahmed says, “He’s a great performer. When he gets on stage he’s totally in his element, he knows how to schmooze the ladies and connect with the guys.”

Sizzle says, he looks forward to the release of his second album titled The Meltdown.

With his family friendly mentality Sizzle says, “I want something anybody can listen to.” He says, “I got some tracks for the rollers, some tracks for the clubbers and I don’t even cuss that much so you can bump it with you mother.”

Is there any chance he'll re-release his first album? Does he have a webpage with samples of his music? For creative musicians, being the writer is where the money is so this is a win-win situation for him.

he does have a website the URL is http://www.myspace.com/sizzlesmoothnhot and he is focusing on releasing the second album right now so he will not be re-releasing the first anytime soon.
