Growing up in West London, Seb’s initial musical development was stimulated by ska, but soon dropped out of sixth form college to pursue a career as a DJ. His first ‘proper’ gig was at crazy larry’s on the Kings Road, getting paid £30 a night to spin tunes for a typical eighties ‘sloanie’ crew. By 1989, Seb landed a residency at the fridge, brixton, where he played mainly hip hop and rare groove, swiftly followed a year later by a residency at the wag, playing ragga, rare groove and acid.

Next came a residency at subterania, alongside Norman Jay and Jeremy Healy. In 1993, Seb gained his first house residency at glitterati at the cross in 1998, Seb was offered a fortnightly residency at cream, which soon became a weekly gig. In 1999, Seb took ibiza by storm, with cream at amnesia.
