THE SESHEN: Electro-Acoustic Music

The Seshen Bay Area-based group is an Electropop band that draws influences from an eclectic range of artists.  Their music fuses Hip-hop, Soul, Pop and Electronica, producing an original sound that is not bound to any particular genre. Songs are created and performed by bassist/producer Aki Ehara, drummer Julian Pont, keyboardist Mahesh Rao, percussionist Mirza Kopelman and synchronizer/sampler Kumar Butler.  Driving beats laced with Afro-Caribbean percussion, thick bass lines, rich keyboards and textured electronic sampling provide the foundation for lyricists Lalin St. Juste and Akasha Orr, whose dreamy vocals create an ethereal sonic landscape.
