Sebastian began writing at the age of eight and started his music on a journey through the interstate highways that communicates Miami with New York. It was only him, his car, his clothes and an indian flute. The hours passed by without stopping, the battery on his laptop had completely died and boredom sneaked upon his window He stopped his car on the side of the highway, near a ghost town, here he started playing and this became his first completed song, Ojos Negros (Black Eyes). This happened in the middle of the night in North Carolina, under the moon, the stars and a dense layer of fog that only captured the lights of a few cars that traveled that night along interstate 95, leaving only a space in the night to driftaway inside a sleeping bag.
