Sebastian Haysman grew up writing short stories by day and practising piano by night. Now 22, he’s found his voice where words and music collide—crafting intimate pop songs rooted in emotional honesty and quiet intensity.
Drawing on songwriting as a way to make sense of the world around him, Sebastian brings soulful vulnerability and confessional lyricism to the Australian music scene, pairing poetic storytelling with haunting vocals reminiscent of Conan Gray, Olivia Rodrigo, and FINNEAS.
Following the release of his debut single "papercuts" in November 2025, Sebastian is emerging as a compelling new voice—one unafraid to articulate the feelings we struggle to explain. From scribbling lyrics in his childhood bedroom to singing them for growing crowds, his music turns private moments into shared connection.
