Who Is Red Sebastian?

Red Sebastian is the stage name of Seppe Herreman, who was born on May 13th 1999 in Ostend, Belgium. Showing a talent from a young age, he entered Belgium’s Got Talent in 2013 – impressing the judges with his cover of Christina Aguilera’s ‘Ain’t No Other Man’, eventually reaching the final of the show. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, where one of his teachers was Eurovision 2023 entrant, Gustaph.

He reintroduced himself to the public in 2024, taking part in the TV show Sing Again, where former talent show participants return for another chance. His first performance was a rendition of ‘Lady Marmalade’, seeing him make it through to the semi final, where he beat Jelle Van Dael. In the final, he placed within the top 4.

Eurosong 2025

Red Sebastian was announced as one of 8 participants in Belgium’s national final, Eurosong 2025 on November 14th 2024. The first time we got to hear his entry, ‘Strobe Lights’ was during his showcase performance in January 2025, and his impressive vocals along with the trance-synthpop style made it an immediate favourite to win the entire show. During the final on February 1st, he won by a landslide – receiving 132 points from the jury and 291 from the public, totalling 423 overall – beating LEEZ in 2nd place by 279 points.
