Sebastian Gaskin
情緒的餘波如何蛻變為創作的頓悟？對於屢獲殊榮、現居多倫多的塔塔斯克韋亞克克里族（Tataskweyak Cree Nation）多重樂器演奏家、創作歌手兼製作人 Sebastian Gaskin 來說，首先，他會坦然接受結果，接著開始將自己的經歷雕琢成一首歌曲。這是一位不畏懼深度審視自我的藝術家的標誌——在這個過程中，他創造出旨在擁抱我們無數破碎片段的聽覺獻禮，同時提醒著我們：愛與脆弱都是一種抵抗。
Gaskin 的音樂刻意不拘泥於單一流派，而是扎根於大膽的直覺與本能。他的作品同時喚起了 Bill Withers 雋永的精神與 John Mayer 精湛的音樂造詣，並融合了 Post Malone 和 Pro Era 般俏皮的文字遊戲。身為一位充滿活力的製作人與編曲家，Gaskin 對合作的敏銳度讓他得以與 Evan Miles（dvsn、renforshort）和 Milano（Icona Pop）攜手，重新構想他所探索的每一個音樂流派的潛能。他曾在世界各地的場館與音樂節舞台上演出，並為 Common、T-Pain 等眾多知名歌手擔任助陣嘉賓。他即將推出的首張個人專輯，將由原住民擁有的音樂公司 Red Music Rising、Ishkōdé Records 以及加拿大環球音樂（Universal Music Canada）共同發行。
How does an emotional aftermath evolve into a creative epiphany? For award-winning Toronto-based, Tataskweyak Cree Nation multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter and producer Sebastian Gaskin, first, he gets comfortable with the outcome, then gets to work sculpting his experience into a song. It’s the mark of an artist unafraid to look deeply into themselves— through the process, he creates a sonic offering designed to embrace our many broken pieces, all the while reminding us that love and vulnerability are acts of resistance.
Intentionally genre amorphous, Gaskin’s music is grounded in bold intuition and gut instinct. At once, conjuring the timeless spirit of Bill Withers and the musical virtuosity of John Mayer, with the mischievous wordplay of Post Malone and Pro Era. A dynamic producer and arranger, Gaskin’s ear for collaboration has led him to work with Evan Miles (dvsn, renforshort) and Milano (Icona Pop) to reimagine the potential of each genre he explores. He has performed at venues and festival stages around the world, supporting artists ranging from Common, T-Pain, and others. His forthcoming debut album will be released on the Indigenous-owned music company, Red Music Rising, Ishkōdé Records and Universal Music Canada.
