Seth Ford-Young

Seth Ford-Young is a bassist, composer and singer based in Los Angeles. He has collaborated with a dazzling cross section of artists, from Tom Waits, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Beats Antique to The Hot Club of San Francisco, Rocco DeLuca, and Barry Manilow. Ford-Young started his musical adventures as the lead singer of punk band Initial Reaction, which played many classic punk clubs around Washington DC. While it might seem like a long journey from DC Hardcore to what he’s doing today, Ford-Young gleaned a tremendous amount of information about life on and off the bandstand during his punk days that he’s still drawing from today.

As a composer Seth has two albums and a film score under his name along with many collaborations and co-writing credits. Recent projects include; Co-producing Gill Landry’s “Skeleton at the Banquet” album, several releases with moonie.moonie, and a new project called Phi-Psonics.
