Sixto Díaz Rodríguez (also known as Rodríguez or as Jesús Rodríguez; born July 10, 1942) is an American folk musician based in Detroit, Michigan. His career initially proved short-lived with two little-sold albums in the early 1970s and some brief touring in Australia. Unbeknownst to him, however, his work proved extremely successful and influential in South Africa, although he was mistakenly rumoured in that country to have committed suicide.

In the 1990s, determined South African fans managed to seek out and contact him, leading to an unexpected revival of his musical career. Their story is told in the 2012 documentary Searching for Sugar Man, which has also helped give Rodríguez a measure of fame in his native country.

One day I hope to become like Sixto Rodriguez, probably the biggest aspiration any human can have. By claiming this I am already failing at it, because Rodriguez himself never had greater aspirations than being a hard labor worker and living in an old shed in Detroit...

I still have yet to see the film (I plan to soon!), but I am still new to Rodriguez. From what I've found he is fantastic. I am very glad to see that he will be opening for Brian Wilson on his up coming tour (that's how I found him!) and I look forward to seeing him live now!

One of the best things I have ever heard come from this man at one of his concerts. "Hate is too strong of an emotion to use on some one you don't love."
