Sebastian Tenorio at The Ugly Grouper

Posted

"Sebastian immigrated to Tampa/St. Pete, Florida from Bogota, Columbia at the age of 5, and was undocumented until 2012, when he was approved for Temporary Protective Status (as part of DACA). While he would go on to graduate from the University of Southern Florida with a Bachelors in Business, he was always drawn to music. He played in both marching band and jazz band in high school, marching band in college, and even was chapter president of his school’s music-focused fraternity “Phi Mu Alpha” for two years.

Along this journey, Sebastian was often adapting by picking up new instruments to learn in order to keep himself a viable commodity. His first instrument was the saxophone in middle school, and later would pick up guitar, bass and singing in high school. And while being a multi instrumentalist is a challenge for anyone, Sebastian’s background in music theory has made this easier for him to do than most.

Over the years, Sebastian has continued to prove, through his unyielding work ethic and openness to challenges, his ability to immerse himself in any new experience that presents itself." - The Indy Review
