Kebu- space for synth

Sebastian Teir comes from a very small village in Ostrobothnia, Finland. He left his village to become a PhD and get a well- paid job as a project manager. Then he left the well-paid job to become internationally successful synth artist “Kebu”. Despite success, fans and millions of followers on social media, money is tight and the work is tough. If you want to make a living as an artist you really have to do everything yourself. Even in the light of fame, luxury is conspicuous with its absence in the life of a cultural worker. How ambitious does one need to be to make it as an artist in today´s jungle of bureaucracy, corporate politics, software updates and misleading advertisement?

Director Statement

I made a documentary film where I did pretty much everything myself, about a synth artist who does pretty much everything himself.
When you are a tour manager, a booking agent, a logistics manager, a mixer and masterer, a photographer, video editor and accountant- can you really call yourself JUST an artist?
Wait... what does that make ME..?
