Seth Balestrieri is an environmentally influenced, self-taught singer/songwriter from Chelmsford, MA. Most of Seth’s family members have played musical instruments, and much of his songwriting ability may be genetically connected to his relation to the singer/songwriter Bob Martin. In a sense, Seth was born into the acoustic guitar. He is often seen and heard accompanying his powerful melodic vocals on an acoustic guitar passed down to him from his father. Musically, his focus in the pop/rock genre, blending styles from folk, Americana, and acoustic music.
Seth’s first steps in his professional career began with the release of a full length album entitled “Bucket List,” which featured nine tracks, and was centered on the idea that he could not live a life without first pursuing his dream in music. Since the release of this album, Seth also professionally released two singles, the most recent being "Our Song (Boston Strong)," which went on to receive high recognition in both online and local press outlets. He began writing music at the age of 15, and has been writing music for the past ten years, building a catalog with over 100 unreleased songs to choose from when planning his projects. Seth writes about a wide variety of topics ranging from love to worldly crisis. He says he often develops a strong feeling, opinion or thought on a subject, and from there his songs practically write themselves--providing authenticity and passion in his music.
Seth’s artistry and lyrical wordplay does not only stem from his life as a musician, but also his life as a martial artist. At age 25, Seth became an internationally certified Tae Kwon Do Master. The tenets of self-improvement, perseverance, honesty and respect resonate deeply in Seth’s life--making the content of his music morally thick, as well as family friendly. He is the type of artist with lyrics that are often so full of meaning that whether sung, read, or even spoken, they would still leave behind a positive outlook for listeners. Having found such common ground and similarities in music and martial arts, Seth created a social media presence known as “Kicks And Strings.” The majority of Seth’s songs are written from the viewpoints of multiple people and are often intended to be interpreted in more than one way. Look for his sophomore album, scheduled for release 2016 with the working title, “The Lover and The Fighter.”
