Seth Sheridan is an American musician who has been making waves in the indie music scene over the past few years. His unique blend of folk and country has won him a loyal following on social media and music streaming platforms. One of his latest tracks has also been featured on a high-profile TV show, and another is being adopted for a commercial. At only 22 years of age, Seth is making his mark on the industry, and he says he’s just beginning.
Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Seth began playing guitar and writing songs at 13. Influenced by a wide range of music, including classic rock, country, blues, and alternative, he experimented with different styles until he found a blend that worked. Seth’s music is a unique combination of all these genres that is hard to categorize into one specific genre. Because of his age, and lack of financing, Seth didn’t receive any formal training to hone his craft. He did all that on his own, playing gigs in coffee shops and open mic events across the country when he finished schooling.
Seth made his debut as a professional artist in 2019 with his track “Window Seat.” He put his heart and soul into the project, self-producing and independently releasing the music on his social media platforms. The track did better than he had anticipated, prompting him to start work on his second track, “Blue,” which quickly rose to the top of the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts. “Blue” remains one of Seth’s most-streamed tracks on iTunes and Spotify.
What makes Sheridan unique is his talent and approach to music. His soulful voice and ability to create both introspective and relatable lyrics have endeared him to many fans and made him one of the fastest-rising indie artists. Seth’s passion for his art shines through his mastery of the soulful acoustic sound that mesmerizes his audience in every performance.
What’s even more amazing is that Seth does all of this while being self-managed, unsigned, and independent. He doesn’t rely on record labels or management teams to help him promote his music. Instead, he does everything himself, from booking gigs to recording and mixing his own music. This DIY approach has helped him build a strong following online, and his music has been streamed hundreds of thousands of times on Spotify and other streaming services.
Asked about his stage presence and the emotional resonance of his songs, Seth says he draws inspiration from his personal experiences with love, loss, self-discovery, and everything in-between. To him, the best music comes from everyday events and interactions. The universal topics he explores in his music are also common to everyone, regardless of where they are from. He hopes it’s enough to unite at least a few people and make the world a better place.
As a musician, Seth is a true indie artist in every sense of the word, paving the way for others who want to take control of their careers and make their own path. Though he has received offers from several labels, he says he’s enjoying his independence too much at the moment. He might reconsider in the future, but right now, he is focused on making music for his fans and exploring his gifts.
