Sethesizer was born Seth A. Keith in Tarejon de Ardoz, Madrid, Spain—his parents’ second son. His father was in the Air Force and mother was a teacher. Learning to play the piano at an early age, Seth developed his ear and soon began to hum popular songs he heard on the radio. He would frequently play the piano and try to figure out the songs he liked on his instrument. At night when it could be difficult to sleep, he would think of his favorite songs, orchestrating them in is head. It has always been easy for him to figure out the melodies he liked. In middle school he began to take jazz piano lessons and was exposed to Gershwin. It took a little time, but he actually created his own abridged version of “Rhapsody In Blue”, of which he learned the original score recently. In high school he began to take classical piano lessons and at the same time he was introduced to electronic music. He had a friend in school who had a MIDI studio and was extremely excited to write his own. From there he went to college and decided to major in music composition, which he was accepted into early by his professors. He then decided to take some electronic music courses and began to compose electronic music, primarily using a modular synthesizer. Shortly after, his classmates would begin to call him “Sethesizer.” He has lived in New Jersey, Washington State, and now resides in Florida with his wife, cat Chase and dog Tito. His favorite places to relax are book stores and cafe shops.
