The son of a Southern preacher, Pynk Beard—formerly known as Sebastian Kole—was raised on soul, gospel, and country music. A seasoned vocalist, award-winning songwriter, and powerful storyteller, he has built a career rooted in emotional honesty, musicality, and an unmistakable point of view. As a songwriter, Kole’s work has appeared on six Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated projects, including a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song for “Angel,” performed by Halle Bailey. He has penned Billboard No. 1 hits for Alessia Cara, including “Scars to Your Beautiful” and “Here,” and written standout songs for Alicia Keys, John Legend, Jennifer Lopez, and many others. Now stepping fully into his own spotlight, Kole introduces Pynk Beard—a bold new artistic identity rooted in country music, with a sound and perspective uniquely his own.
