Read the Sebastian Hex Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Sebastian Hex and I am a banker-turned-producer and songwriter!
Growing up I had always been into arts, focusing mostly on filmmaking and dabbling on music. However, in college I wanted to do something a bit more "practical," hence the Finance degree and a career on Wall Street. Two years in, just when I was about to be promoted, I realized that life is too short to pursue things that you are not passionate about. I hadn't realized how dead I was on the inside until I saw an Oliver Heldens show in Miami, where it was held outdoors in the pouring rain. There was a moment during the show when I thought, "This is it. This is what being alive feels like," as the the rain and bass consumed me. I decided that there was no reason for me to only get glimpses of that feeling in my lifetime, and so I made the big leap and decided that music is what I wanted to do.
In February 2018 I released my first single called "Dark Side of the Moon." It's about that side of us that others never see but we are now ready to embrace. For me, it was that creative side.
I am including the Spotify link to the song in this interview so please check that out!
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences are pretty diverse, and that's true from both an artist and consumer point-of-view. My personal playlist can go from 50s country music to 2018 Top 10 in a span of minutes. From an artist perspective, my influences right now are Kygo, Marshmello, and Duke Dumont. Their music really moves me and makes me feel. When it comes to songwriting, which is also something I care about a lot, one of my biggest influences is Taylor Swift. Whether you like her music or not, there is no denying that she knows how to tell a story, and make it as musically off-formula or generic as she wants without ever losing the personal aspect of it.
What´s new right now?
Absolutely! Since the release of "Dark Side of the Moon" last week, I had started to introduce my Youtube channel to my followers. This is where I'll be uploading vlogs, behind-the-scene videos, and any other videos that are related to my music and my life. Yesterday I uploaded my experience at New York Fashion Week where I met some of the biggest (and nicest!) people in the fashion industry like Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, and Karlie Kloss. Up next will be the visualizer for my song — it will be a very futuristic/technology-driven video, so I can't wait to share that with everyone!
