Song drops following his reveal on The Masked Singer
Sebastian Back—who last night (Wed, Dec 6th) was revealed to the world as “Tiki” on Fox’s The Masked Singer Group B Finals—has released a powerful new single, “What Do I Got To Lose?” The video was directed by Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera.
“When I first agreed to be on the show, I thought it was mostly about comedy and costumes, which it definitely is!” Bach says about his time on The Masked Singer. “But when I actually did the show, I realized that The Masked Singer is about singing! Which I love to do! I had an incredible time doing the show. My favorite song that I got to do was ‘Magic’ by Pilot. The high clean tenor sound of that vocal is incredible to sing for me! It was great making new friends and getting to put on a crazy show with awesome music! Thank you to Nick Cannon and all at the Masked Singer! Would love to do it again sometime!”
The arena-ready stomp of “What Do I Got To Lose?” was co-written by Bach, Myles Kennedy, and Elvis Baskette (Mammoth WVH, Slash), the latter of whom also served as the track’s producer. Guitars lock into a heart-thumping groove on the track as Bach’s voice rings out on the refrain, “I’m holding on for judgment day.” The momentum gives way to a fret-burning lead. For the video, Bach is joined by his former Skid Row bandmate, drummer Rob Affuso.
“To me, ‘What Do I Got To Lose?’ is the perfect sentiment for me right now,” Bach laughs. “It’s an anthem for coming back and crushing it. It’s time to lay down the law and put the hammer down old-school-style.”
The singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star, and actor teamed up with Reigning Phoenix Music for its release. It marks Bach’s first new music in ten years.
“I cannot express enough how happy I am to have a full and complete team of rock and roll professionals on my side with RPM music,” Bach adds. “We have been working on this record together for over eight years and I could not be more proud of the results! Gerardo, Oscar, Sven and all at RPM Music share in the passion of rock n’ roll and together we look forward to kicking ass all over the world in 2024!”
On the live front, Bach will hit the road in 2024 for a mix of solo gigs and festival appearances with more dates to be announced in the coming months. Initial dates include the 80’s Cruise 2024, Rainbow Bar & Grill 52nd Anniversary Show, Welcome to Rockville 2024 and appearances with Mr. Big in Latin America.
Stay tuned in early 2024 for additional news about what’s next for Sebastian Bach.
With an inimitable presence as loud as his instantly identifiable voice, Bach has left a San Andreas Fault-size imprint on music, theater, film, television, and culture. Moreover, his influence only continues to magnify. He has penned and voiced some of the most iconic anthems in rock history, crafting a catalog highlighted by generational hits such as “18 and Life,” “I Remember You,” “Youth Gone Wild,” “Slave To The Grind,” “Wasted Time,” and “Monkey Business,” to name a few. He has made history as “the first heavy metal singer on Broadway” with a now legendary turn in Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical in addition to leading roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Jesus Christ Superstar. He has appeared in dozens of television series and films, ranging from Trailer Park Boys and Robot Chicken to Spongebob Squarepants, and Hell’s Kitchen. Speaking to his versatility, he’s the rare force of nature who can duet with Axl Rose and reprise a seven-season recurring role on Gilmore Girls.
