Sebastian Kole was born Coleridge Gardner Tillman, [2] on January 17, [3] 1989, in Birmingham, Alabama. He learned music through church, where he began singing in choral and playing doctor at the age of 5. At age 13 he began to delve into a rap career and writing his own songs, which evolved into a singing career once he started college.
Kole would play at various bars and clubs while attending the University of Alabama where he eventually graduated as a Music Tech major. Upon his graduation, Sebastian moved back home and continued to work on his writing. In early 2012, he co-wrote a Jennifer Lopez and Flo Rida collaboration titled " Goin' In". This placement prompted him to move to LA where he signed with EP Entertainment and Motown in December 2012. [4]
In 2014, Sebastian began working with EP Entertainment labelmate Alessia Cara, who released her debut single on Def Jam in April 2015. Sebastian co-wrote and co-produced her debut album along with Pop & Oak Kuya and Malay. [5] The song debuted on The Fader and accumulated over 500,000 streams in its first week.
