Sebastian

Sebastian's solo performances on acoustic guitar give listeners a different twist on Blues, R&B and traditional New Orleans Funk. Using only his voice and his guitar, Sebastian reveals the essence of the classic hits. His one-man shows are laid-back and stripped-down, giving his audience a new way of enjoying songs that they have heard before, but not in Sebastian’s mellow, soulful style.

Sebastian began his music career in New Orleans in 1986, where he absorbed the influences of New Orleans music legends such as Leo Nocentelli and Warren Batiste. Other musical opportunities took him to Atlanta and the Midwest, where he joined Billy Ball and the Upsetters to tour the South and the Midwest. Sebastian made a return to the New Orleans scene in 1997, recording on
Chuck C's Another Sleepless Night in 1999, produced by Cyril Neville. He showcased his talent in another genre as a member of the reggae group Irie Vibrations, performing on their 2004 release, Red Hot Reggae.

Sebastian turned his sights to a solo career with the release of On the Streets of New Orleans in 2006.He has been performing as a solo artist ever since. He hopes to expand his fan base by doing what he does best: playing live, armed with only his voice and his guitar. He wants his audience to appreciate the music he loves by delivering it in a new way - stripped down, soulful, and pure. With his natural tone and natural style, Sebastian could be called the Natural Man of New Orleans music.
