Members hail from France, Ecuador, and USA. Ursula Knudson: Vocal & Saw Fabrice Martinez: Violin & Viola Lliam Christy: Guitar Robby Marshall: Clarinet, Saxophone, Piccolo Matias Alvear Fall: Bass Ursula is an accomplished vocalist from Sacramento, CA, whose years of classical vocal training were finally put to an unusual use. After years on other career paths, she finally found her calling with Seix and was inspired by this ensemble to learn one of her most admirable talents: the musical saw. Fabrice Martinez (Violin and Viola) Fabrice began his musical journey at the age of eighteen, traveling all across Europe a few times over by hitchhiking with his various instruments in hand until at age twenty he decided to discover the weld a bit slower by embarking on a 7 year odyssey through western and Eastern Europe in a hand built, mule drawn caravan which took him from the south of France through Italy, Slovenia Hungary and finally Romania. For ten years he performed with his group Croque Mule throughout Europe as well as with Vinicio Capossella and various other Italian and American artists before forming Seix end of 2013.. Robby Marshall (Clarinet, Saxophone, Piccolo) From the time he was four years old, banging on his parents’ upright piano, music has called to Robby Marshall. It drove him to become one of the Bay Area’s hottest young jazz saxophonists: by the time he graduated from high school, he had already performed with Carlos Santana at the Fillmore, Trombone Shorty at the New Orleans Jazz Festival, and recorded Prominence Project, a benefit CD for youth music education. Matias Alvear Fall (Bass) Originally from Ecuador, Matthias is a passionate musician who moved recently to Los Angeles to pursue his musical career. Matthias played bass in collaboration with different musical groups in United States and in Europe. Lliam Christy (Guitar) Lliam is a sought after guitarist and composer. Lliam currently performs with several groups; SEiX, The Reventones, Moroccan Roll, Los Flamencos and Sitarrason (featuring the Cuban Maestro Lazaro Galarraga). In addition to specializing in Flamenco, Latin and World Music, Lliam also accompanies Pop singer Pia Toscano from American Idol fame as well as being a sideman for numerous Rock and Pop artists. Some of the most notable Rock bands Lliam has played and recorded with are The Stranded Lads, Rainbox, Pale Divine and Robynn Ragland. Less
