Sebastian Horn (born December 2, 1970)[1] is a German musician and television presenter.

Sebastian Horn

Horn is best known as the bassist and singer of the Bad Tölzer band Bananafishbones, which he founded in 1987[2] together with Florian Rein and Thomas Dill.

Life

edit

Horn grew up in Bad Tölz, Germany, where he was associated with the punk and black music scenes.

Following the formation of Bananafishbones in 1987, his brother Peter Horn Jr. went on to replace co-founder Thomas Dill in the band. Concurrent to the band's early years, Horn studied biology with a major in systematic botany at university.

After a few years in which the band mainly played live, in 1998 their song "Come to Sin" was featured in a commercial for the store C&A, leading to major success and recognition for the group.[3]

Together with Leonhard Schwarz, Horn is responsible for the music aired for radio plays in the Ritter Trenk series by Jumbo Neue Medien & Verlag. Horn has also served as presenter for Heimsatsound, a television programme broadcast on Bayerisches Fernsehen, since 2014.[4]

In addition to Bananafishbones, Horn founded the musical duo Dreiviertelblut in 2013, with Gerd Baumann, which released an album titled Lieder vom Unterholz via Millaphon Records. Since 2013 Baumann and Horn have written lyrics for the singspiel about strong beer tapping on the Nockherberg.[5][6]

Private life

edit

Horn is married and, after residing in Munich for a few years with his wife, they returned to Bad Tölz with their five children.[7]
