PYNK BEARD, formerly Sebastian Kole, is an award-winning songwriter and country artist redefining the modern country landscape. Raised in Birmingham, Alabama as a preacher's son, he grew up directing the church choir and moonlighting in country bands, weaving soul, R&B, and gospel influences into his music. With deep Southern roots and a passion for storytelling, he transcends genre with a soundscape that’s both fun and heartfelt, and live performances that are both rodeo and arena-worthy. Before stepping out as a solo act, he made waves as Sebastian Kole, writing #1 hits for Alessia Cara, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, and Ariana Grande to name a few. Reintroducing himself with a new aesthetic as PYNK BEARD, he’s committed to bringing fresh perspectives and new energy to country music.
