[Exclusive] Rebeleon Entertainment's Sebastian Krys Gives his First Interview

​Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Los Angeles-based multi-Grammy award winning producer and engineer Sebastian Krys is launching a Latin music rebellion. To that end, he has started a new music entertainment company aimed at developing Latino musicians in the United States. Rebeleon touts itself as having a "new vision for a new generation."

Krys, as general manager of the company, has the credentials and resume to pull off such a feat. He was the engineer and mixer for Shakira's defining album Donde Estan Los Ladrones as well as her Grammy winning MTV Unplugged live recording. In 2008, Krys was the top producer of hit singles in the US Latin market outpacing all other competitors in the field. The rest of his achievements? Too voluminous to reproduce here.

News of Rebeleon Entertainment's launching coincided with the surfacing of its first signing--Los Angeles buzz band La Santa Cecilia. In a Facebook note, Krys wrote of the genre-bending six piece,"They're amazing, but need to be nurtured and supported. They don't fit the mold, and that is what we should support."

Since the announcement of the move in mid-November, Krys has recorded La Santa Cecilia's forthcoming EP Noche y Citas. The band has also released its first ever music video for the first single La Negra off the new album and redesigned its new website--where you can hear snippets off of Noche y Citas (soon to be reviewed in Heard Mentality!)

What Sebastian Krys and Rebeleon Entertainment have in store for 2011 has provoked much excitement. The company has certainly gotten off on the right start teaming up with La Santa Cecilia to help execute its vision. When originally approached by the Weekly for an interview, Krys wanted to delay the exchange until things became more settled. However, he soon found himself flooded with such requests and was genial enough to grant the Weekly the first interview about Rebeleon Entertainment as we were the first to ask!
