Finding his artistry with a vintage tinge on contemporary pop, Victor Sebastian has found his authentic sound, bringing his homes of Copenhagen and Los Angeles, his influences from music and acting, classic and contemporary.
Bouncy and bright, Victor’s latest track ‘LA Sober’ details his experience of finding yourself caught up in the dream, euphoric on the surface and overwhelmed beneath. Lighting a torch at the crossroads of a deeply emotive bit of songwriting and a joy-filled pop anthem, it’s a three-minute paradise facade, unrooted in any particular time and laced with dreamy nostalgia.
Coming up to the highest highs with the life he’s living, it gives Victor time to reflect on what he left behind and come to terms with the progress he’s made. It’s a theme that’s effortlessly relatable, and bundled in an effortlessly palatable package.
Victor shares, “My heart was in a tug-of-war, and the song was born out of that tension. Writing it felt like letting out a breath I’d been holding for too long while laughing at the chaos and admitting it hurt. And recording it was a chance to capture that raw honesty; no filters (except on my voice), just what it felt like to be in that moment.”
