Silveira came out as a transgender man in 2006 after coming out as a lesbian at the beginning of his career, when his band was beginning to generate buzz in industry circles.

Silveira said being transgender in the music industry is tricky and has its rough spots.

"Because there are not a lot of people like me in the industry, it is hard for people to separate the fact that I'm a musician who happens to be transsexual," he said. "I try to be an artist but it can be distracting and gets in the way of people focusing on my music."
