Although Sixto Rodriguez's music career took over forty years to kick off, 2012 saw the Detroit singer-songwriter shoot to international stardom with the release of Searching for Sugarman, a documentary movie about his success in South Africa and the fans who travelled to the USA to try find the elusive musician they'd listened to growing up in the 80s.

The bulk of his most popular songs are off his album Cold Fact, which was released in 1970. Songs like "Sugarman", "Crucify Your Mind" and "I Wonder" slowly made their way into popular culture and now, largely thanks to the Oscar-nominated documentary Searching for Sugarman, are synonymous with the politically and socially charged, self-aware songwriting that is his trademark.
