Seth Sentry was born as Seth Gabriel Morton in about 1983. He grew up in Sorrento. Sentry's first public appearances were during live performances with Melbourne hip hop and drum and bass outfit, D.S.O.L. in 2003. In 2005 he reached third place in the Revolver Battles competition, in addition to organising and appearing in a weekly hip hop night at The Old Colonial venue in Fitzroy—Sentry's involvement with the Old Colonial led to an appearance on the The Forthwrite Mixtape in 2007 and a guest appearance on Pez's 2008 album, A Mind of My Own.
After posting a number of songs on Triple J's Unearthed website, he was selected by Steph Hughes, host of the station's Home & Hosed programme, as a "Featured Artist". Sentry's contribution became the most downloaded track on the website. He followed with a 31-date national tour supporting Pez "Simple Game", Sentry's second single, received high rotation on Triple J. Sentry's The Waitress Song then reached No. 31 in Triple J's 'Hottest 100' for 2009 and appeared on the compilation The Best of Australian Hip Hop Vol. 1.
In 2010 Sentry continued to tour and finalised the recording of his debut album with Melbourne producer Matik. In August 2010 he was a guest on Horrorshow's Our Song, ahead of a national tour with the group, and Closer, a song by Australian hip hop artist 360.
