Kit Sebastian

London-based duo Kit Sebastian (aka Kit Martin and Merve Erdem) captivate their audience with moments of pure pop bliss, timeless nostalgia and seductive complexity. Their unique sound weaves a psychedelic tapestry of global influences, vintage synthesizers and melancholic verve from the beaches of Bahia to the streets of Istanbul and Paris. A joyful expression of vibrant grooves and sophisticated lyricism that transcends borders and socio-cultural prejudices.

Much of what defines Kit Sebastian both as a musician and as a person, his roots at the intersection of cultural heritage and lived experience: for Merve, who grew up in Istanbul, studied in Rome and now lives in London, this has meant a constant exploration of her identity, the prejudices against Turkey abroad and coming to terms with a complex and multi-layered history.
For Kit, who grew up between London suburbs and rural France without the internet, his love of music from around the world has led to an exploration of what it means to create a pluralistic sound without obscuring its origins.
