Born on February 22, 1974, in Le Plessis-Bouchard, France, Tellier first gained significant attention with the release of his debut album "L'incroyable Vérité" in 2001. Over the years, he has cultivated a unique musical persona characterized by his distinctive voice, lush and often experimental instrumentation, and a flair for the theatrical. His artistic approach often weaves together themes of love, spirituality, and sensuality into an otherworldly tapestry of sound.

One of Sébastien Tellier's most significant career highlights includes representing France in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2008 with the song "Divine," which showcased his penchant for quirky yet catchy melodies.
