Séamus was brought up by a colorful mixture of Free-Love Hippies and Born Again Fundamentalists - but somehow he survived intact.

Then straight out of school, he cut his teeth rocking the town of Adelaide, South Australia during the nineties in cult band Reckoning.

By the time he was twenty-two he was one feral freak indeed, and was on the run from the law. Under cover of darkness, and wearing clothing inappropriate for the weather, he moved to Melbourne, Victoria (Australia) and turned to managing a health cafe whilst simultaneously struggling with a substance abuse challenge. At the time, the irony was completely lost on him.

He then developed a passion for esoteric meditation which enabled him to get back on the good-foot, and subsequently joined the band Quill. They did ok for a bit, but the heat was closing in, so Séamus stowed away on a rusty freighter and went adventuring through Asia until he got stuck - cashless and dazed by the bright lights in Japan.

After doing solo gigs in Tokyo to pay his way home (and doing some more meditation), he cruised back to Melbourne, where he was welcomed home by a pyscho who beat the living shit out of him at Greasy Joe's in St Kilda. Once his broken bones healed, Seamus spent a few years playing in the front bars of Melbourne, honing his craft and always writing new songs.

On the side he has run a nightclub, made coffee in countless Melbourne cafes, had about twelve or thirteen articles professionally published, wrote a thriller novel, taught meditation, and travelled (some of) Europe. He now works part time from home for a magazine, LivingNow, where he writes articles, sells ads, drinks coffee, writes about himself in the third person on his myspace page :-) and manages the LivingNow website. Oh, and he is right back into music and has started a blog called Rebel Zen and a business called Rebel Zen Media with his mate Steven Mills. And wants to change this bio to the first person, and update it cos there are more adventures been had since first writing, but can't be arsed. And should do some work now. Bye.

InfluencesNick Cave, The Yeah Yeahs Yeahs, The Smiths, Blondie, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Bowie, Jack Johson, Tex Don and Charlie, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Beck, Evan Dando, and y'know, all the rest...
Sounds LikeNick Cave, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen bullying Morrissey in the beer cellar of an Australian outback pub several thousand miles south east of Uluru.

Hey brother! I love what I've seen of the rebel zen website! I think we have a similar approach in our style of presenting these tools of existential enhancement :) The difference between us is that you've gotten off your ass and made it happen, and I'm still plotting my grand plans! Though I must say it's starting to come together nicely :) Keep it up brother, you're doing an awesome thing.
I wish more people pursued their heart and soul! Ps: I'm diggin the music :)

Hey Seamus,

Your music is sounding great. You really have developed a lot as a vocalist and musician. And the songs are just gems! Been having a ball listening to them. I hope there is more to come (between all the real world shit).

My new song, 'Be My Valentine' is now online. Feel free to drop by for a listen.

Have a great week and take care.

All the best,

Jamie
