About

Biography

There are great guitar players. And then there are great guitar teachers. And it’s truly rare to find someone who’s both. Sebastian is one of those rare birds. His keen hearing, and mastery of the language of music in all its subtleties and nuances, and authentic passion to create, also makes him a composer and producer par excellence. Sebastian brings with him a vast repertoire spanning an expansive range of music genres and styles which he translates through his immaculate music productions. Besides producing albums, singles, and movie scores he is also an established music composer and producer for countless advertising commercials. He has won awards for short films. His natural sense of calm and patience makes him an attentive music teacher, for beginners and advanced students alike. Sebastian’s teaching methodology is unique and customized for his students for the level they are in and it comes from years and years of experience and the longing to break the old, boring paradigm of how music is usually taught. His focus is to empower his students to discover music and evolve naturally from early on by actually PLAYING music, and not drowning in numerous theoretical jargon that takes the joy out of music. The Guitar Baba, as he is affectionately called in the music community, lives in Mumbai with his guitars and one too many cats!
