Sebastien Delage

For his September carte blanche, Arthur Links offers us an artist with a unique universe. He grew up in the suburbs, not very happy, not very handsome, acne, not sporty, few friends, a few girlfriends, he mainly likes video games, drawing, smoking firecrackers, music and boys - but that comes more late. Delage, in his bio we could say that he is always looking for a family, a chosen family, a family that treats him well, a solid family, a slightly queer family that would resemble him. And then, he started with others before, a group in which he didn't sing or write, an album with a big label but it didn't suit him. Her creativity finds its source in autonomy, in self-production, in the off-camera - the passionate, patient, maniacal, precise and obsessive work in her little maid's room. He said a lot of things in his first two opuses (the EP Fou and the album Rien Compris), one might think he said it all... Homosexual libido... Bipolarity... Polyamory... The second album, a challenge of affirmation, is the one where we forget Hollydays, his first group. Sébastien then continues to produce thanks to his label and in addition to his music, videos, other LGBTQIA+ artists, fanzines, and soon a podcast seeking to participate in the celebration of a world and a culture in which he wants to be an actor. Sébastien Delage has emancipated himself. And if a first album is like a terrifying autobiography, the second poses another challenge: that of the musical and artistic trajectory. That of becoming an artist.
