Seba and his family live in Memphis, Tennessee—a place famous for music. He grew up with music all around, but he especially loved the drumming(鼓声) of Mr. Copeland from the band The Police.
Before he turned three, his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday. " Drums! " he answered. They bought him a junior drum kit(击鼓用具). It was a huge step. " He didn't stop playing, " says his dad, Everett.
But soon Seba grew upset. He couldn't get his junior drum kit to make the sound she heard Mr. Copeland making. So his parents bought him a professional drum kit and sent him to have drum lessons. In just a few months, his drum teacher reported that Seba was learning very quickly and needed a higher level of training. He was four years old then.
Seba's parents encouraged him to learn more music. Seba learned bass, guitar and piano. He faced some challenges but he kept on practicing. To his parents' surprise, Seba started a band in kindergarten(学前班). By the first grade, he was making money by playing music. In 2020, Seba joined a summer music program at Berklee (伯克利) at the age of 8. He studied bass and practiced up to 36 hours a week. In 2021, Seba spent four months in Utah, performing in " School of Rock the Musical " . Since he could play so many instruments, he was in almost every scene.
When he was only 10 years old, Seba became the youngest person ever to receive a professional certificate(证书) in music from Berklee. He says that even though music is something he's naturally pretty good at, " I still had to practice a lot. "
Seba hopes to go to college at Berklee when he's old enough. He's still practicing and playing.
