Despite always having been inseparable, Melbourne based twins Bec & Sebastian only began performing and writing together a short time ago. A casual recording session with Bec on backing vocals for a new song Sebastian had written and produced led the siblings to realize the unique sound they created together was something they had to further explore.
Bec & Sebastian have achieved a lot in the short time they’ve been performing together. In 2013 the twins shared their talents nationally when they featured on The Voice Australia and were swiftly picked by judge, Ricky Martin to join his team. Quickly becoming live favourites on the events scene the duo have played prestigious events including Sydney Festival, The Melbourne Cup ANZ Marquee, Sydney International Food & Wine Festival and have shared the stage with prominent Australian artists such as Loon Lake, Owl Eyes and Bertie Blackman. Most recently the duo performed in the US for Florida’s Come Out with Pride Festival in October 2014, performing amongst the likes of Meghan Trainor, Li’l Kim and Clean Bandit, with tickets to the event sold to over 100,000.
Sebastian is no stranger to the music industry. A respected songwriter and producer on the Australian music circuit, Sebastian has helped write and produce for artists such as Anthony Callea and Seany B. Whilst always having been an avid lover of music, it took Bec a little more coaxing to come out of her shell and share her talents. However, as a naturally gifted singer, Bec’s vocal ability shone from the get go, showcasing an undeniable powerhouse of husky, soulful tones that leave listeners’ ears constantly reaching for more.
The chemistry and bond the twins share is evident in their uplifting and infectious pop sensibility with every musical moment delivered by the siblings maintaining truth and a relatable rawness that manifests itself through stunning vocal harmonies and lyrics. What further sets these talented performers apart from the crowd is their extraordinary songwriting and music production capabilities, which is a rare package in the pop arena these days.
After giving Australia just a glimpse of the magic they can create through their music, Bec & Sebastian are ready to unleash their debut single ‘Barricade’. With lashings of catchy electro-pop, bristling with passion, the single is just a taste of what’s to come on their debut EP due out in early 2015.
