About Us
For mother-son duo Sunshine, music is more than a passion—it’s a family affair.
Vocalist and entertainer Rosemary Watson and her 18-year-old son, guitarist Dexter Berrogain, seamlessly blend classic rock, jazzy pop, bossa nova, and R&B into a stylistically fresh yet timeless sound.
Rosemary, a seasoned performer, comedian and impressionist (even Martha Stewart follows her on Instagram!), has graced stages from national TV to The Kennedy Center, where she performed at the request of her idol, comedy legend, Carol Burnett. Dexter’s sophisticated musicianship and songwriting prowess showcase a depth well beyond his years. He learned to play at a young age from his dad, Patrick Berrogain, an accomplished jazz and Gypsy jazz guitarist. Dexter is also a signed model with The Wilhelmina Agency.
Based out of San Diego - Sunshine began performing covers professionally in 2023 and started writing original music in 2024. Their first single I SANG EVERY LOVE SONG FOR YOU is out now and available on all streaming platforms or for purchase.
BUT WAIT! Pre-save their 2nd single PRISM out on 4/26 now or grab an exclusive advance copy today at www.sunshineduoband.com and help us build the buzz!”
(“She played the long game and gave birth to her accompanist in 2006,” Watson jokes.)
Their inspiration
"Genre-fluid" best describes the musical tastes of Dexter and Rosemary who criss-cross over many intersections. On any given day, they might be immersed in the classic sounds of Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Steely Dan, Earth, Wind & Fire, Coldplay, U2, America, Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66 or Sade. They love the genius of solo artists like George Benson, Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Prince, Santana, Sting, Todd Rundgren, Marvin Gaye, Eliane Elias, Ivan Lins, or the father of bossa nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim.
Their playlist can shift from Jimi Hendrix’s electric mastery to the jazz brilliance of Pat Metheny, Oscar Peterson, and Bill Evans. Vocally, they appreciate the smooth tones of Luther Vandross, Nat King Cole, Sting, Gino Vannelli, Chaka Khan, Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee, and Nancy Wilson.
And when it comes to modern textures, they're drawn to the jazz-infused stylings of BluSwing, Cleo Sol, Robert Glasper, the playfulness of Charlie Puth, the contemporary elegance of Laufey and Melody Gardot alongside the innovative sounds of Hiatus Kaiyote, Emily King and Moonchild.
(“Has there ever been a mother-son duo as compelling as Sunshine. Prove us wrong—we’ll buy you a frozen banana.”)
A New Era of Modern Music for This Musical Family
The duo credits up-and-coming producer Luca Perillo, (Rosemary’s nephew and Dexter’s cousin) with giving Sunshine a soulful, immersive sound to resonate with today’s mature pop listener.
While Watson has long been known for her work as a jazz vocalist in Southern California, Sunshine represents a bold evolution— a shift that Luca’s masterful touch and signature sonic layers helped lead the way, while never compromising the artists.
All three family members owe a debt of gratitude to “Nonna/GoGo” aka Rosemary’s mom, Sharon, a professional musician and educator who played a pivotal role in passing along her passion and knowledge of music.
(Berrogain notes: “We wanted to blend the intricacy of older music with modern production to create something that completely new.)
Making Waves With Their Debut Release
Sunshine’s debut album, eponymously titled SUNSHINE, is poised to make waves through its artistry, skillful execution and contemporary radio-polish production. With SUNSHINE, this duo isn’t just making music—they’re making history. Be part of it.”
