Seth Sentry

When Seth Sentry's first album, This Was Tomorrow, debuted at #6 on the ARIA charts, Seth was a bright young hopeful... a talented up-and-comer. Now, only a few years down the track, Seth is regarded as one of Australia's premier rappers, with an iconic voice as warm and familiar as a hug from an old mate. This Was Tomorrow spawned three high-rotation singles - My Scene, Float Away and Dear Science - which opened the door for touring at home and overseas. Seth became an Australian festival circuit staple, and got his first taste of international success in North America – hitting NYC and Canada for the first time, winning a rap battle at SXSW, and performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live to two million people; spitting rhymes and dodging f-bombs like a consummate professional. Taking out Channel [V]’s Oz Artist Of The Year Award and earning a spot on triple j's One Night Stand; Seth Sentry had truly arrived. But, to put the question bluntly, what's he done lately? Well, besides touring and touring and touring, Seth's been writing and recording his next album, and, much to the delight of fans, the first taste is ready. Characteristically nostalgic, poignant and humorous; first single Run is Seth at his best, expanding on his established knack for nimble rapping and big, boss hooks. Part way between the contemplative Float Away and the brash Dear Science, Run confidently navigates the waters between 'catchy song' and something more profound, as Seth explores his childhood as a bored kid in a small town, making fun however ya can. Longing for a forgotten sense of danger and excitement, Seth looks back fondly at his days of shoplifting chocolates, skating ledges and sifting weed flakes out of bong water. Days when, if the cops chased you, you'd just run. A humble guy from humble beginnings, it's Seth Sentry's honesty that seems to win him his way into people's hearts, and, like a time machine back to those humble beginnings, Run gives us a glimpse at one of Australia's most successful rappers, back when he was still just a little kid telling you to shut up.
