Siggno

Jesse Turner attended a local church in Texas and met his future bandmates.[1] When Turner was 10 years old his father had died and Turner spent his teenage years writing songs as a coping mechanism. Turner founded Siggno in 2000 and released their debut album Al Principio in late 2001.[1][2] Al Principio failed to impact any music chart during its run. The album was released during Tejano music's post-golden age era under Crown Records.[1] Music promoters found it challenging to shift consumers in buying regional Mexican music albums in big box retail stores as sales in Tejano music had flattened.[1] Music journalists criticized Tejano music artists for their lack of variety in their music as well as recycling the same sound in each track.[1] Billboard called Siggno's "Pero Hablame" as a "sentimental cumbia".[1] The group's second album, Por Amor was released in 2002. The album helped Siggno to receive a nomination for a BMI Music Award in 2003, and a Latin Grammy Award for Best Tejano Album.[3] Ramiro Burr of Billboard noted a sense of vulnerability and romantic themes in Siggno's repertoire which distinguished them from regional Mexican boy bands who would rather "raise hell" with their partners.[4] Music promoters found Siggno's sound to be more progressive, but found that groups like Siggno to be more entertainers on stage than an actual performer.[4] Another critic saw the group as a neo-norteño band that was being embraced by music fans.[5] The group was nominated for Most Promising Band and Album of the Year at the 2003 Tejano Music Awards.[6] Siggno released their third album Caminando under Serca Music.[2] The following year, the band signed with Freddie Records and released Amor y Dolor which spawned their hit single "Mejor Dimelo".[2]

Siggno's next two studio efforts Capitulo 5 (2007) and Six Pack (2008) were nominated for a Latin Grammy Award.[2] Six Pack became the group's first recording to enter a music chart.[7] The album peaked at number 44 on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums on the week ending July 5, 2008.[7] The group's next recording En La Radio (2009) marked Siggno's first entry on the Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart when it peaked at number 19.[8] Elsewhere, En La Radio debuted and peaked at number 33 on the Top Latin Albums chart.[7] Siggno's follow-up Que Harias (2010) peaked at number 27 on the Top Latin Albums chart and gave the group their first top 10 album on the Regional Mexican Albums chart.[8] In 2012, Siggno released Lo Que Me Dejaste which provided the group their first top five on the Regional Mexican Albums chart when the album peaked at number four.[8] The band's first greatest hits album Nuestra Historia (2012) and Lo Que Me Dejaste helped grow the group's touring revenues.[2] Their concert venues began selling out as well as a number of festivals they attended throughout the United States and Mexico as their songs began receiving strong airplay.[2] 2013's El Mundo Se Acabo became Siggno's highest-peaking album, at the time of its release, when it peaked at number four on the Top Latin Albums chart.[2] Their live album En Vivo (2014) broke their record when it debuted and peaked at number three and debuted atop the Regional Mexican Albums chart.[7] Siggno's following recording Zodiacal (2015) provided the band's second number one album.

In February 2016, Turner's son Jacob, was involved in a car accident that left him in a coma.[9] Jacob suffered severe brain damage which left him in a coma for four months.[10] A few months later, the group's album Yo Te Esperare debuted and peaked atop the Top Latin Albums (their first number one) and Regional Mexican Albums (their third number one).[8] Turner told Billboard that the album was dedicated to his son following his recovery from the hospital.[9] Yo Te Esperare debuted with 5,000 copies sold in its first week, debuting at number 123 on the Billboard 200 chart, their first entry.[11] The album featured a cover of Nicky Jam and Enrique Iglesias' "El Perdon", which debuted at number eight on the Regional Mexican Digital Song Sales chart. Siggno became the ninth best-selling regional Mexican artists in 2016,[12] while Yo Te Esperare finished as the 12th best-selling regional Mexican album of 2016.[13]

During RodeoHouston 2017, Siggno and Banda El Recodo broke the all-time paid attendance record at Go Tejano Day when 75,557 people attended.[10] The record was later broken by Calibre 50 the following year.[14] At the event, Joey Guerra of Houston Chronicle found Siggno's performance to be "emotional". Turner often referenced his son Jacob during the performance.[10] Bud Light expanded their Texas campaign and signed Siggno as their spokesperson in the state and sponsored their 100-city tour in 2018.[15] In April 2018, Siggno visited a 5-year old fan who was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect as an infant, as part of Make-A-Wish. They invited him to their concert and performed the fan's favorite songs.[16] The following month, Nixon High School competed to have perfect attendance to meet Siggno. The band had an open Q&A and lunch with the students who won.[17]
