Sebastien LaFontaine Sánchez

Born and raised in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, Sebastien began his bass player journey at the Escuela Especializada en Bellas Artes Pablo Casals, where he studied music. Over the years, he has explored different styles, with a focus on Latin Caribbean genres. His passion for jazz started in high school when he participated in a jazz ensemble under the direction of virtuoso musician Edgar Abraham Marrero for the National Jazz Festival in 2023.

Sebastien has been part of different groups such as Latin Revolution, Ivancito y los Musachos, Mitad y Mitad, and Punto y Coma, collaborating on several singles and with musicians across the island. He is currently studying at Lewis & Clark College, working with professors from the Portland jazz scene.

Through his work with Mitad y Mitad he is bringing more diversity to the local music scene by sharing Latin music from different countries. As he pursues a career in the sciences, he also continues to grow as a musician while staying connected to his roots and community.

To continue with his goal of bringing Latin music to Portland, he presents his Latin Jazz trio with two amazing musicians, Judah Golub and Ben Fisher.

Judah is a junior music major at Lewis & Clark College, focusing on electronic music, production, drums, and percussion. He grew up in Los Angeles, playing in several rock, funk, and jazz bands. Currently, it is part of multiple music groups in Portland.
