Recorded live at the 2025 Whitsundays Songwriter Festival in Airlie Beach, Chris Sebastian joins Francesca to reflect on artistry, cultural influence, and the balance between vocal power and emotional restraint in songwriting.
About Chris: Chris Sebastian found his voice and love for music at a very young age. This passion has never left him, and today Chris has honed his craftsmanship of songwriting alongside the industry’s best. Writing for major artists and labels, Chris has created his own unique style, with his 2016 EP Runaway, and a new album to be released in 2019.
Chris receives an overwhelming response everywhere he performs; in his homeland of Australia, and around the world. Chris has toured as support to some of the world’s best, packed out his own headline shows, and more recently performed with Aussie electronic music duo, Peking Duk.
As a finalist on the first series of The Voice in Australia, Chris was nationally recognised for both his talent and his character. A highly entertaining performance, striking vocal technique, and a passion for his audience. This is what you can expect from an experience with Chris Sebastian.
