About Seth Sentry

Pairing wry wit and emotional transparency, Australian MC Seth Sentry explores humanity with the sincerity it deserves. Born Seth Gabriel Marton in 1983, Sentry worked as a waiter for 10 years as he made his way around Australia's rap underground, competing in freestyle battles and making appearances on tracks from local acts. He began to break out with "Dear Science", a 2012 single from his debut album, This Was Tomorrow. Deeply personal and laced with sharply funny observations about everyday minutiae like annoying customers ("Thanks For Your Hospitality") and hanging with crowds you don't quite belong in ("My Scene"), the project established his knack for approachable songwriting. He continued building his momentum with 2015's Strange New Past, an eclectic offering coated in searing ruminations on childhood ("Run") and his typically self-aware sense of humour ("Dumb"). He flaunts that mix of self-deprecation and blunt honesty with Super Cool Tree House, a 2021 album that reaffirmed his status as one of the most talented wordsmiths in Australia.
