SongVault Artist Profile

Sismian as an artist has been shaped by many different factors, from lands he has lived in or travelled through to experiences he has had that have affected him directly or indirectly. Being born in Manchester (north UK) then moving to West Africa with his parents at the age of one, he lived there growing and absorbing the sounds, smells, culture and customs of all that was good under an African sky. Fast-forwarded to the age of six where he found himself back in the UK enrolled in an English boarding school (a bit of a mind bender) but as always, he quickly adapted to this new life situation. At this point, being a little awkward in his shell, he turned to the only thing that made his eyes sparkle: music and in particular singing which he discovered in the school choir.

At the age of eighteen he left the shelter of the school, and then he proceeded to join the University of life and made friends with all types of weird and wonderful creative characters delved in and out of bands. Later, he traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia. Many years were spent in this way, absorbing and processing information.

Returning to London, he embarked on a stage of hosting warehouse parties. Then he decided to make music after getting some gear. He created music under different monikers then settled for Sismian. Give this music a chance and we can build bridges...

Music style: think ethereal meets mind funk. Quote “it’s all about the flight”.
