Sébastian Hell

Sébastian Hell (born on September 14, 1978 in Montréal, Quebec) is a musician, songwriter and screenwriter who is also the manager of the UnPop Montreal. He fronts a band called Sébastian Hell/Blooze Konekshun and also performs solo.

Hell grew up in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce district of Montréal, an area known for its tree-lined streets, brick houses, ethnic diversity, and mix of rich and poor. As a youth, his dream was to one day be paid to play hockey and be paid to play music. He had reached both by the age of 18. His favourite team growing up was the Quebec Nordiques.

Hell attended Collège Notre-Dame du Sacré-Coeur in Montreal, Canada, and was a letterman in hockey and also played football. In both these sports, he has played alongside future professionals - NHLers Ben Guite, Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre, and Mathieu Darche, and NFLer J. P. Darche. He graduated in 1995.

Hell attended both Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf and CEGEP Du Vieux Montréal, earning complementary film and literature degrees.

Studying film at both Concordia University and Université de Montréal helped him garner a reputation as a hard worker who had studied the theories and could be allowed to break them apart.

While mostly known throughout his involvement with UnPop Montreal, he has performed in Montreal clubs since 1990 and has been touring since the mid-90s. He briefly moved to New York City where he tried to stir the underground music scene in the late 90s before settling back in Montréal by 1999. He also own his small independent label, Kitchen Records/Productions.
