Since then he has played twice in Las Vegas - and last year he signed a potentially lucrative contract with top music company Warner.
And his debut album will be released within weeks
Initially Si performed with his brother Tyber in ska band The Dualers.
Their single Kiss On The Lips got to number 21 in the charts in 2004.
