Sebastian Portillo

Sebastian is what many people would call a freak. His love for art and music inspires him and the people around day by day giving birth to modern pieces of art. He's a songwriter, a performer, a producer, a painter, an inventor, an extreme idealist, a visionary, a worker, a passionate board game player and a writer. In his work, the words, the artworks, the ideas, his philosophy and the music melt into each other and transport a unique story which is part of a larger tale.

His music is hard to define in terms of categories. It is fresh, clearly post modern and at some point avant-garde and demanding. With the main elements of Funk, Pop and Soul he uses heavy distorted guitars, dirty Rhodes, pianos, Hammonds and analog synths. He loves when his voice is drowned in a myriad of effects. He's influenced and inspired by artists like Jamiroquai, Lenny Kravitz but also Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Radiohead, John Mayer, Donovan Frankenreiter, Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, Morcheeba, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, The Jackson 5, Daft Punk, Justice, Norman Cook, Oasis, Redhot Chili Peppers and many other artists while contributing with something unique to the genre. He's classified as a popular artist mainly because of his sense of catchy melodies and musicality.
