On-the-Rise Artist Sebastian Javier Releases “Manicomio” Marking A New Era In His Career

Sebastián Javier is an on-the-rise pop artist that’s sure to be kept on your radar. The Argentinian-born, Canadian-raised pop singer recently released his newest Spanish single “Manicomio” and it’s the perfect Latin summer song.

Like many artists now, Sebastián Javier, formerly known as Sebastian Olzanski, got his start on the internet by posting covers and videos on various social media apps. Since his start in 2013, Sebastian has amassed quite a following with over 450k on Twitter, 240k on Instagram, over 100k Youtube subscribers and gaining over 1 million streams on his 2016 debut single “Nobody but Us.”

His social media presence and immense passion for music has made his connection with his fans so strong, with a close relationship that brings inspiration and love all over the world from both himself and supporters.

“Manicomio” is the first single the 19-year-old musician has released this year since dropping a momentous ballad, “Not Alone,” in December 2018,  expressing the feelings associated with mental health.

The Spanish single describes of a chase with a girl that drives him insane while showcasing his beautifully passionate voice and flawless falsettos. This new song marks a new beginning for him in finding his sound and who he is, and is more than chasing a girl– it’s about pursuing a passion no matter the difficulties.

He also recently released a music video which has garnered almost 20k views in the past few days. The visual is set in a neon-lit white tunnel and empty, white space, with the love interest taking the singer on a chase.

The pop singer is currently gearing up to embark on his El Comienzo Tour in May throughout a couple of places in Latin America along with a very special home show in Buenas Aires, Argentina.  

While Sebastián is starting anew, music is not new to him, and with so much more to come from him, this humble prodigy continues to rise every day and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
