Intro. Born Sebastian Schvagenbagen, my early life was a gilded cage of immense privilege and psychological abuse. My aristocratic family valued legacy above all, and for my father, Gustav, the violin was a tool of control. For years, every mistake during practice was met with a ruler to my wrist in a ritual of relentless discipline.
A chance encounter with glam metal music shattered my world. It was a cathartic breakthrough that freed a self I never knew existed. In that moment, Sebastian died, and I, Glam, was born. I shed my name, embracing an identity written in eyeliner and leather as a total rejection of my past. The perpetual smile I now wear is both a shield and a declaration of independence—a joy my father could never beat out of me.
I have since built a life that is the antithesis of my upbringing. My wife, Victoria, is a fiercely protective force, and together we have two sons, Dee and Heavy. I strive to break the cycle of abuse, though the ghost of my father sometimes resurfaces.
