Alice Magazine NYC - Chapter 1

ALICE: “Sebastian, you mentioned at our shoot with you and Stephanie that it took you two years
to get her so you’re never letting her go. Can you tell us how you met and the story of how you finally
got the girl of your dreams?”
Sebastian: I met her on Tinder and it has been a fairytale-love story ever since... No, we met
the old school way - out and about, through a mutual friend at the Belmont in
Los Angeles. This will sound rather cheesy but when I laid my eyes on Stephanie I felt that
desire of want - I only hope every human-being can have that same feeling once in their
lifetime. But, of course, I didn’t sweep her off her feet and run into the sunset in that
moment, we just simply became friends. I was persistent for two years - while she was living
her life and I was living mine, quietly putting together the puzzle of what became the beginning
of something authentically pure. Two years ago we had our first proper date which
led to us realizing we are individually quite alright, but together, are rather brilliant.
Stephanie: I was having a drink with my friend and this tall guy walks in roughing up his
hair and says ‘Hello, its my birthday and I just drank two bottles of wine. I’m Sebastian,
lovely to meet you’. He definitely left an impression!
ALICE: “Stephanie, with your modeling career and Sebastians’ music career, both of you are on
the road quite a bit. You must miss each other like crazy. Tell us how you two manage to keep the
sparks flying even through long distances and many days apart?”
Sebastian: Whenever Stephanie is traveling I always continually make the effort surprise
her by hiding letters, notes, & pictures in her suitcase - it is the little things that keep our
love and excitement for one another alive. Of course we miss one another tremendously if
it’s a day, week or month spent apart but we give each other the respect to live and enjoy
life. But all that time apart makes those moments spent together that more important: I
smile when she makes me happy, I let her know when she makes me mad (which is rare),
and I miss her when she’s not next to me.
Stephanie: When Sebastian is on the road we’ll keep in contact by sending photos of our
day and voice notes to each other. It’s too convenient to keep an endless text conversation
going all day long so we try to take it easy on messaging each other and just save it up for
a talk or video chat at the end of the day. We can talk for hours though, our conversations
never run dry.
ALICE: “What do you guys like to do on your free times, when work and travel isn’t on the
calendar?”
Sebastian: When we both have a free moment we enjoy nothing more than laying in bed
all day. It is a place where we are locked away on our private pillow escape; where colors
seem dreamlike, laughter brings us to tears and truthfulness signifies who we are.
Stephanie: We really enjoy cooking! We’ll try to cook at least once a day when we’re home.
Friends always hanging around the band house, its kind of an open door policy, and
everyone seems to show up at dinner time when the kitchen starts smelling good.

ALICE: “Sebastian, in one word, what best describes the thing you love most about Stephanie and
Stephanie, in one word, describe what you love most about Sebastian”
Sebastian: Stephanie is “herself” and understands who she is. I was intrigued from the
moment I met her and felt this desire to know deeper than the exterior beauty - which was
never a feeling that has overtaken me before. I’ve fallen in love with her brilliant mind, kind
heart and beautiful soul. Life has become completely different, exciting and worthwhile
