- SEBASTIAN ELL BIO -
Sebastian ell is a songwriter.
He was born in Geneva, Switzerland in 1981 and is now living in Paris.
Brought up by the Beatles and Pink Floyd, his life has always been showered by music.
Sebastian learned to play the guitar at 13 and soon created with his two old friends an alternative rock band called "the Hornet Vitamin" from 1998 to 2003 in Switzerland.
Sebastian came to Paris in year 2004 to explore new paths in his own compositions.
Sebastian also studied acting at The Cours Florent in Paris. Cinematic emotions, pictures on screen, are a great part of his inspiration.
Sebastian ell's influences go from Damien Rice, Maximilian Hecker, Nick Drake, Syd Matters, Sigur Ròs and Radiohead.
Melancholy leads Sebastian ell's music. Nostalgy of an old moment, lost in the wind of life. As Sadness never goes without an instant of joy, as hapiness never reaches one's mind without an effusion of tears, Sebastian ell songs are a journey through emotions. Celebrating the fact that we are alive...till' the end.
A short album "endless world" was recorded in his own home-studio in Geneva in year 2004.
"Night O'clock", his latest creation was recorded in his new home in Paris in 2007.
In October 2007 Sebastian created with Thibault Marchal the band ELL.
