Seb was just 17 at the time, and studying for his A Levels at Oldham Sixth Form College in English, History and Economics. He went on to scoop top A grades and win a place at Birmingham University, but is now on a gap year while he takes the opportunity to explore his music due to the incredible speed at which everything is now happening - he's already played gigs and festivals across the region.
He says: "I thought,
