State of Sound: El Sebas
State of Sound: El Sebas
El Sebas makes music influenced by his culture and experiences. The Mexican rapper, artist and cultural curator is half of urban Latin hip-hop duo Browns Crew — alongside fellow rapper Cristo Paz — and writes through a journalistic lens that affirms his own realities and those of his community members.
El Sebas' music draws attention to prevalent issues while aiming to spread joy through his creative sound. He raps in English and Spanish, incorporates clever wordplay and thought-provoking content, and infuses Latin sounds into his performances and recordings.
In 2019, Browns Crew was named a winner at Summerfest’s Emerging Artist Series, was awarded 88Nine’s Song of the Year for “Mil Aires” and received the Nō Studios Artist Grant for 2021-2022.
