Sebastian Immaraj is a blues rock pianist, guitarist, and vocalist. His CDs and live performances weave blues with other musical styles and cultural influences.
Immaraj was born in India and moved to Australia with his family when he was eight years old. At high school he briefly tried piano lessons but continually frustrated his classically trained teacher. ‘Even though I liked classical music, as a teenager I wanted to learn to play rock music. After a short period of unsatisfactory lessons my teacher and I fired each other’.
His musical journey began while studying engineering at university where he taught himself to play piano and guitar. His musical interests and influences were always diverse - ‘Bach to BB King’.
He began performing as a chorister with chamber and symphony orchestras, including performances as a chorister with Luciano Pavarotti, and Judith Durham (The Seekers). He also acted in several rock musicals including Godspell and Hair. He has recently written songs for two independent Canadian films. His main pursuit though has been as a solo and ensemble musician playing rock, blues, and elements of jazz. Influences have been the ‘old masters’ such as Oscar Peterson, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, and The Beatles.
His first album Perceptions comprises instrumentals and songs, and a culmination of several musical genres. Fourth Dimension (his second album, recorded in Australia and Brazil), reveals the soul and the essence of blues rock.
Immaraj continues to perform as a musician in Australia and overseas.
