Toby Sebastian, the talented brother of Hollywood sensation Florence Pugh, has revealed how his breakthrough role in Game of Thrones unexpectedly paved the way for his musical ambitions. The British actor, who portrayed Prince Trystane Martell in the epic fantasy series, discovered an unexpected passion for music that would ultimately shape his creative journey.
In a candid revelation, Sebastian shared that his time in Westeros inspired him to take professional singing lessons, ultimately leading to the launch of his music career. The actor-turned-musician has since released his debut album, Until the Dust Settles, showcasing his soulful vocals and songwriting prowess.
'Game of Thrones was an incredible experience that opened many doors,' Sebastian explained. 'But it was the reaction to my performance that made me realise I wanted to explore music more seriously. I started taking proper lessons and discovered a whole new creative outlet.'
The Sebastian siblings have both achieved remarkable success in the entertainment industry, with Florence Pugh earning critical acclaim for her roles in Midsommar, Little Women, and most recently, Oppenheimer. Toby's journey from the sands of Dorne to the recording studio demonstrates the diverse talents running through this creative family.
Sebastian's musical style blends heartfelt lyrics with melodic arrangements, drawing comparisons to artists like Ed Sheeran and James Bay. His transition from screen to studio reflects a growing trend of actors exploring multiple creative disciplines in today's entertainment landscape.
