Growing up, SEB was always doing something creative, and always knew he'd end up doing something creative for a living.

It started as a child in Haiti, where he'd make miniature versions of sculptures from rocks in the back garden. From there, he got interested in comics and cartoons, spending summers in the comic book shop, and eventually found his musical footing in skateboarding.

At only 24, SEB's already lived quite the life. He's lived in (deep breath) New York, Haiti, Miami, Oklahoma, and Chicago, before settling down in LA to start his music career. The influences he's picked up along the way are scattered throughout his music. Oh, and he also worked at Electric Lady studios in New York for a while, learning from the absolute best as Lorde, Lady Gaga, J Cole and more frequented while making their own records. Casual!

"From Chicago on, I was really delving into making music and paying more attention to it. Chance the Rapper and Chief Keef were blowing up; I was exposed to this extreme drill music, watching the videos, seeing all that happening is like, woah, what the fuck? After that, when I was in DC, a lot of my friends were into the underground indie DIY scene, and moving to New York, I started delving into more electronic music. I feel like in each one, it's like let's take the gospel chords of Chance's music, let's take the general aesthetics of DIY indie music, let's take some of the sampling and manipulation of the house music, and let's just smash it all together, and then maybe you get some of my songs.

There's a new single on the way in October that'll properly introduce us to the main character of the next two acts of this trilogy, and he's working on an art project too, but right now, he's just playing it by ear.

"I want to do it one step at a time, because I feel like my brain is so sporadic that I need to bunker down one, figure that out, and then once this part of my life is set, let's move on." Taken from the October 2021 edition of Dork, out now.
