Sebastien Tellier is a French singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is currently signed to Record Makers, a French independent record label.

His first LP, L'incroyable Vérité (The Incredible Truth), was released in 2001. Sébastien went on tour with Air in support of the album and was joined on stage by world-renowned theremin player Pamelia Kurstin. L'incroyable Vérité is a pop album featuring styles from lo-fi electronica to bizarre cabaret tunes.

Sebastien followed this with Politics (2005), which, like his third studio album Sexuality (2008), took a single term as both its title and theme. The disc dealt with ways of power and governance, in as much as it discussed the relative merits of genocide versus ketchup, as well as the tennis-playing opportunities presented by the Berlin Wall. The most prominent song on Politics was La Ritournelle, a string-led tune, which featured Nigerian drummer, Tony Allen, some eighteen months before he joined Damon Albarn for The Good, the Bad & the Queen.

Since the release of Politics, Tellier has also recorded an acoustic album of his more popular songs, Sessions (2006), which topped the French iTunes Store chart; this was repackaged for the British market as Universe (2006), to include both highlights from the French CD, as well as compositions from his score to the film Narco.

His third studio album Sexuality (an 11 track meditation on love-making) was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk. Tellier and de Homem-Christo live near each other in Paris.
