I started writing poems when I was thirteen of fourteen. At that time I began carrying notebooks with me all the time, writing down lyrical ideals and observations on a daily basis, and also made my first attempts of playing with words in rap music (German Hip-Hop was very popular at that time). In the same years, I discovered Eric Clapton's MTV Unplugged record, and started to learn guitarplaying. In this instrument and my first shy tries of singing I soon found a very comforting place and a form of self-expression. After discovering classical music as well as 60s and 70s bands at that time the 2000s made me stumble upon more contemporary heroes: Ahead my favourite lyricist of all time, Conor Oberst and his Bright Eyes stuff, but also Damien Rice, Elbow, The National, Turin Brakes. (Oh, and the early Coldplay. Despite their very pop-ish latest works these beautiful first two records really made me want to become a musician.) While studying (something with economics that didn't mean too much to me) some friends and me founded the Indie band "Fugitive Dancer". That band became my dream place to live my adolescent fantasies of desireful dark indie pop. After the band had fallen apart in 2014, Sebastian I put my remaining creative unrest into a new musical journey, calling myself November Me then. In 2015 my first solo EP under that moniker "Don't Believe the Tide" saw the light of day.
