Can I sing what I want to sing? I know that’s what people like but...what about what I like?" He has more messages then most. He shatters Stereotypes and lauds anti-materialism in "There's more to you." He offers the reflective "Why is it?" then follows its questions with a simple answer: "Hope." The rest of the album is tribute to his world: the nitty gritty "Hoodchild" and "Streets Interlude" the pretty "Blessed" and "Friends" and his loves "I love you like" The self produced numbers, though thematically fresh are par for the course production wise. Catchy little piano lines fancy reverb and upbeat drum-machine work. It’s simple and smooth just enough medium to carry the message.” Willy Thorn – Shepherd Express Seb Sound: Seb’s sound has it’s roots in R&B with a touch of jazz. It has been called neo-soul, inspirational and message music. His songs have a soulfully smooth lead with distinct harmonies and a message that is inspired by life and a spiritual awareness of self and others. Seb’s charismatic nature engages the audience allowing them to join his musical journey. Seb Mission: Camp Heartland is one of Seb’s missions.
